This basic biblical reference book compares and contrasts the synoptic Gospels--Matthew, Mark, and Luke--by aligning them side by side to show where they agree, complement, and/or differ from each other. More reliable than a harmony of the Gospels, this book does not force the events related in the Gospels to follow an interpreter's suggested time-line or sequence of events.

A classic since 1949, Gospel Parallels presents Matthew, Mark, and Luke printed side-by-side for easy and enlightening comparative study. Now fully revised and updated using the NRSV, it features a more readable type face and a new, even more effective system for comparison.
