"the best" of all of the "blended" harmonies

At the outset let me make something perfectly clear: IMHO, The Gospels Interwoven by Kermit Zarley is absolutely the best of all of the "blended" harmonies of the 4 Gospels. There are actually 5 different types of harmonies. 1- the type that is usually described as a blended, interwoven, single narrative harmony of the four gospels, 2- the type that puts the various accounts in different side-by-side columns, usually called a parallel harmony, 3- the type that is like most chronological Bibles, listing the complete record of each different account in a continuous narrative, one after the other, 4- the type that lists every different event in all 4 gospels, but only the account that is determined to be the major one appears in the text, 5- the type that is a retelling of every different event from Christ's life in all 4 gospels, but does not limit itself to the exact wording used in the gospels and does not try to mention anything that isn't considered as part of His life (genealogies). The Gospels Interwoven is the first type. In my research I have been able to locate about 60 different blended harmonies of the 4 Gospels. Because of their publication date, many of these are based on the KJV or the ASV or are an original translation done by the author. Zarley's The Gospels Interwoven is based on the NIV and therefore, for me and my congregation, MUCH MORE USEFUL and HELPFUL. Another strength of The Gospels Interwoven is that Zarley mostly uses Thomas and Gundry's sequence of events. They are tops in that area. I really can't imagine my library on the life of Christ without The Gospels Interwoven. If you don't own it, stop what you are doing, get online and buy it TODAY! For the rest of your life you will be glad you did so. God bless. Mike Sublett
