About A Simplified Harmony of the Gospels

If you have ever found yourself studying an event from Christ’s life and flipping back and forth from one Gospel to another to try to get the whole picture, then this book is for you. In A Simplified Harmony of the Gospels, Jesus’ life is presented chronologically, taking you from one scene to the next, weaving each gospel writer’s observations into the story, capturing the subtle nuances that give each of the Gospels its individuality.

The Simplified Harmony is supported by hundreds of in-text explanatory notes and comments that probe the deeper meanings of the Scripture and place you in the living stream of its history and culture. Helpful sidebars are included to help with those areas where some events are questionable as to where they fit in the chronological order of Christ’s ministry. Included in the resource is an expanded outline, a systematic reading plan, indices for each Gospel, and a subject index.
