A Four Column Parallel And Chronological Harmony Of The Gospels Of Matthew Mark Luke And John

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.

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.

About this Book and this Book Series A Bible Story Called Easter and the Birth of Christianity: KJV pilot version - English is an illustrated chronological Bible-excerpt story covering the events surrounding Jesus Christ’s final Passover week through the following Pentecost observance. This first illustrated book in the series covers the most significant eight weeks of Christianity’s beginnings. The events covered here comprise core components of Christian theology. The book-template source for each book in the series is the published and copyrighted Appendix A, which specifies how to integrate the 63 public domain watercolor images created in the 1890’s by French artist James Tissot with 655 selected Bible verses recorded in the first century in the Greek language by the authors of the New Testament Gospels. The book template’s matrix format, “Gospels’ Comparative Text Alignment” [G’CTA], creates a single chronological story through the parallel alignment of the four Gospel authors’ narratives. This matrix format is often referred to as a Harmony of the Gospels. This first illustrated book in the series, KJV pilot version, is a derivative work compilation that presents the 655 Bible verses in English, using the KJV Bible translation commissioned by King James I of England in 1604 and completed in 1611; a significant upgrade to the translation occurred in 1769. The KJV translation is now considered public domain, except in the United Kingdom. The planned next book in the series will also be in English using the NLT Bible translation (New Living Translation.) A “fair use” permission for publication using this Bible translation has been granted by Tyndale House Publishers. Negotiations are also in process to produce other series books in English using the NABRE (Catholic), NIV (New International Version) and the NKJV (New King James Version) Bible translations.
