The author Robert M. Sutherland is an accomplished Canadian criminal and civil trial lawyer with 34 years at the bar in five provinces, having had some notable successes, changing the law nationally and provincially at various points in time. He is philosophically a moderate realist and a natural law thinker, in the tradition of the three great Western thinkers: Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas and MortImer J. Adler and a former Canadian director of the Chicago-based think-tank “Mortimer J. Adler’s Centre for the Study of the Great Ideas”. He is an evangelical Christian and a member of the United Church of Canada. This is how he would format the testimonial evidence of the various gospel writers in the court of public opinion for the purpose of assessing their individual and collective credibility and reliability and ultimately their three basic historical claims: namely, (1) Jesus of Nazareth claimed to be divine. (2) He died for that claim. (3) He rose again from the dead to establish the truth of that claim. These are purely historical matters, knowable and provable on a balance of probabilities. And to assist the reader he has provided some helpful methodologies for understanding the nature of truth, the nature of the natural moral law and the nature of historical inquiry.

PARALLEL GOSPELS IN HARMONY - with STUDY GUIDE lets you read and study the four Gospels in parallel columns with corresponding passages side-by-side, using the modern language World English Bible. It's also copyright-free, so that anyone can reproduce it. A disciple in the garden of Gethsemane cuts off the ear of the high priestâs servant according to all four Gospels. But only John tells us the servantâs name, and that it was Peter who wielded the sword. And only Luke tells us that Jesus healed the wound. This book allows you to see all of this at a glance.

Reproduction of the original: A Harmony of the Gospels For Students of the Life of Christ by A.T Robertson

One of the easiest-to-use parallel text harmonies of the Gospels now has an easier-to-read four-column type design.

The Gospels Interwoven is a chronologically arranged narrative of the life of Jesus blending all details from the separate Gospel accounts...in the words of the New International Version. With solutions to questions rising from a comparison of the Gospels, The Gospels Interwoven is for students of the Word, teachers, pastors and anyone wanting a more complete knowledge of the life of God's eternal Son.

A synopsis is a tool which displays different passages of a text side by side for comparison. This is most commonly done with the four Gospels of the New Testament because of their similar material, but it could reasonably be done with any text that has similar passages, such as the Old Testament historical narratives. The synopsis you presently hold contains the four Gospels of the New Testament. It is different from comparing parallel versions, such as one English translation to another, because all of the passages displayed in this synopsis are from the same version, the NET Bible. It is different from a harmony because the passages are not reorganized into one story; each Gospel in a synopsis is separate from the others and can be read by itself or in comparison with the others. This parallel arrangement enables fruitful comparison of the Gospels to each other so each may be understood well on its own in light of the others.
