Product Description
by Jongwoo Han (Author)
This book merges and harmonizes the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John into one. This unified version, which I call "The Gospel," is based on the faith that the four different gospels exist in order to form together the complete story of Jesus' life and ministry. I consolidated these sources by identifying common denominators among them as well as parts that are unique to each, and then interweaving it all into a single narrative, using only original texts. This integrated version may offer greater incentive to our youth, laymen, and non-believers as well as professionals to read and learn more about what Jesus did and taught. (Acts 1:1).
In the past, there have been many attempts to make the four Gospels easier for readers, often displaying similar episodes in parallel columns, in an effort to resolve the Gospels' narrative complexity by harmonizing them in one way or another; however, in regard to the text itself, previous books do not rise to the level of precision and completeness that is achieved here.
Answering this need for a clear chronological telling of "The Story of Jesus," this book unifies 'every' account of the four Gospels into a single story, without omitting or compromising any part. On a given topic in Jesus' ministry, this book uses as its base whichever gospel is the "greatest common denominator", consolidates identical or similar parts from other Gospels, and integrates the unique and different elements of each book into a single story.
