gospel harmonies?
A long time ago I heard about the Diatessaron gospel harmony, and ever since I've been interested in seeing how it turns out when you create such a thing. I can't find any examples of a complete one, in print, though.
Does anyone know of one? Online or in print? Or is the whole idea too heretical for any Christians to do it? I think I've heard of one by.. Leo Tolstoy? But the only translation by it's self that I can find is supposed to be terrible, and otherwise it's only part of a larger body of work that I can't even figure out the name of. |

Google turns up this, although the author notes that most Christians would reject him and his work. (I haven't read all of this and I don't know how good it is.)
I suspect that to even think about harmonizing the gospels emphasizes that there are differences between them, something that could make Christians uncomfortable at least. You can also just google "gospel harmony" for a variety of Christian sites which mostly seem to line up the four gospels in parallel columns. |
