5.0 out of 5 stars Bold text carries you through all 4 gospels in 1 sweep, October 15, 1999

The gospel harmony is like having 4 witnesses to an event before you to each tell their part as the story is told. No more having to bounce from Matt. to John, to Luke, to Mark. Multiple colums containing each gospel relative to each chronological event. This harmony is special in that the author has bolded the unique text in each relative gospel so that you can read all the gospels at the same time as one flowing story, not missing a bit of information. Hard to put down. You or whomever you buy it for will love it.

This review is from: Harmony of the Four Gospels, A: The New International Version (Paperback)

This is a wonderful tool when studying the Gospel's account of the life of Christ. The author (or should I say editor/compiler?) arranges the texts in harmony, but also includes approximate dates of when the events took place. Some are critical of this approach, wondering how Mr. Daniel came up with the method of dating the events. Mr. Daniel asserts that the method is by no means difinitive. However, by following the feasts and seasons mentioned in the Gospel texts, he does leave us with useful benchmarks as to when these events took place. There are also useful comments about events like the cleansing of the temple. Were there two such events or only one? Mr. Daniel begs the question, then gives his view in the footnotes. This is a great book to use in a long Bible study on the life of Christ - with the emphasis on long. Our care group is currently working our way through the book . . . it's taken us a year and a half, and we're just now half way through! Take your time . . . learn all you can about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous Resource, February 21, 2000

This review is from: Harmony of the Four Gospels, A: The New International Version (Paperback)

This volume provides excellent insight into the Gospel narratives. There are many versions of Gospel harmonies, but this is the only one that I am aware of that provides a continuous narrative of the main story line from one writer to the next. It is amazing how many details you pick up by reading a composite account using all four Gospels. Highly recommended!
