The Gospel Chronicle is a study to help you read the Gospels of Matthew, Mark Luke and John as one interwoven and contiguous series of events.

​

This work is divided into three volumes: Narrative, Parallel, and Redaction. All three volumes  are now uploaded to read as interactive flipbooks or download as PDF's.  For anyone that may prefer a printed copy, the complete set is also available for sale on Amazon.com at the printing cost:   Narrative \ Parallel \ Redaction \ Redaction SE

​

This work is rooted in the understanding that there is a steady chronological sequence within each of the four gospels. This chronology is established by the inclusion of such words like “then”, “now”, “therefore” or "thus".  Each of these words indicates a passage of time.

​

But it goes further, if each separate Gospel account is in chronological order, then they should all be in chronological order to each other. Accordingly we should be able to collate these accounts event by event into a single narrative without rearranging one chapter or verse from its historical order. The Gospel Chronicle does this.

​

Going back as far as Tatian's Diatessaron (approximately 160 A.D.) and forward to Throckmorton’s Gospel Parallels in the 20th century (and beyond), there have been many efforts to establish a single story from the four narrative Gospels by harmonizing them. Yet None agree on how the final product should look. But all, interestingly agree, that the original order is wrong.

​

But each effort to harmonize results in inconsistent rearrangements of chapters and verses to impose a harmony. A natural harmony leaves each gospel in its original order. The heart of The Gospel Chronicle is that the Gospels do not need harmonizing; they were given to us in harmony already.
