Gospels Side by Side

The Bible gives us four biographers for Jesus' life: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Gospels Side-by-Side presents Jesus from four different points of view and shows how their views unite to flesh out an awesome portrait of God. The Gospels Side-by-Side includes concise charts that illustrate why there are four Gospels instead of just one, why three Gospels are similar, but the fourth is very different, how the Gospels complement - not contradict - each other, why most of Christ's story focuses on his last week; and more.

Contents The Gospels Side-by-Side:

• Harmony of the Gospels showing where each story appears in the four Gospels.

• The importance of Jesus' last week and how it is treated in each Gospel.
