A Simplified Harmony of the Gospels

by George W. Knight III

Most of the Gospel Harmonies use parallel columns to give side-by-side comparisons of the various events in Jesus' life and ministry. But how much easier could His storyline be followed if it were presented in one seamless narrative, streamlined in chronological order?

Features: 

• The four Gospels woven into a single, running narrative 
• All Scriptures taken from the Holman Christian Standard Bible 
• Sidebars call attention to major themes and difficult passages in the Gospels 
• Hundreds of study notes— a regular feature of every page—illuminate the text 
• Useful for both lesson and sermon preparation as well as stand-alone reading 
• Systematic reading plan for family worship and devotional use

Genres: Reference, Christian Non Fiction, Christian

Read if want to get a detailed chronological picture of Jesus’s first coming.

I don’t want to sound too negative. This harmony is done well. Why read this instead of one of the many Bibles in chronological order? Because the Knight splices together the different events into one seamless reading. Here "simplified" means: not relying on Greek. In addition, the book is filled with solid study notes.

A joy to read, but I have a study bible already, and I have a chronological bible already. I would have preferred if the notes were more apology-related. Like Why do we know Jesus cleaned the temples twice? The answers are a quick Google search away but there are almost no apologetic questions answered within the notes. Nor do I now know enough about why certain things are placed in a certain order to explain to someone else why this is so.

Still excellent work.

The HCSB translation is the progenitor to the CSB, and in some ways I prefer it: doulos as slave, though the CSB is smoother.

Simple, yes, but a perfect harmonization of the Gospel texts. Complete with an expanded outline of the Gospel harmony, a 125-day reading plan, and scripture and subject indices. Not only an informative chronological telling of the Gospel, but also a handy study aid.

Like watching “The Chosen”,,,,

…brought these events to life. Changed my life. Opened my eyes. I’ve recommended to others and will continue to do so,

Straight forward and understandable

George Knight has performed a great service for the church in laying out the gospels in a continuos narrative woven into a single story. His discussion and gentle explanation sheds light on the events that have changed the world.
