A Harmony of the Words and Works of Jesus Christ

by J. Dwight Pentecost

Study the life, ministry, and teaching of Jesus Christ in harmony—with all the relevant material from the Gospels placed side by side on the page and in chronological sequence. The goal of this volume by author and teacher J. Dwight Pentecost is to help you know Jesus better by getting a clearer picture of him through the four Gospels—the books that directly depict his life, his ministry, and his heart. To show the harmony of the gospels, passages are arranged in parallel columns when more than one is cited so that you can easily see the accounts beside one another. This simple, logical presentation of the complete parallel text with the outline greatly simplifies your study of Christ's life. A Harmony of the Words and Works of Jesus Christ is ideal for use with its companion volume, The Words and Works of Jesus Christ , a comprehensive study of the life of Christ . A Harmony of the Words and Works of Jesus Christ also makes an outstanding parallel Scripture text for any study of the gospels or the life of Christ. All Scripture is in the New International Version (NIV).

The work he did is appreciated. Having not read any other harmony, a comparison is difficult to make. The approach could have been done differently, and more explanations for the choices made would have been valuable. There was disagreement with some of the decisions, and certain events that were thought to have happened at the same time were instead separated. Made me want to try making my own harmony, but I am very doubtful I would make the time...

This was read for class and it is the gospels laid out in chronological sequence with like passages grouped together across books. I enjoyed reading it this way and was surprised at the subtle differences there are in similar stories.
