Summary: An eye opener
Comment: I am currently reading through this book, which is really a combination of each of the gospel accounts in chronological order. So far the book has been very enlightening and has taught me more about Christ than I would have learned by reading one gospel at a time. There is something about reading each account side by side that really brings the stories to life, and making Jesus more tangible (at least in my mind). If you want to know more about Jesus, His disciples, and you want to grow closer to the Lord this is a great book to help with all of these things.
The commentary is excellent. For example, did you realize that Jesus began to teach in parables late in His ministry, and only after many people had turned against Him?
One other thing that I really like about this book is that every time an old testament prophecy is fulfilled in the new testament it gives the old testament reference right there in the text. I know that many Bibles note this, but they use superscript marks and it's easy to read over them, so I like the references in the reading, that way I don't miss anything.

Summary: A great Resource, but difficult to follow in places
Comment: This book was required reading in bible school for the life of Jesus course and it'sn pretty good. This book presents a chronological look at the gospels that is very accurate and easy to follow.
Parts of this book are a little difficult to follow. Mainly the stories that are repeated in the gospels. There are scripture by scripture comparissons and notes throughout each gospel story. The way that the book is set up really gives the writer a feel for what each author was writing, their writing styles and how they viewed what happened. It's what you'd expect to see when 4 different people have their own accounts of what happened in the life of Jesus. I really like it when books put the same stories side by side so the reader can read the different accounts and compare them so easily. The footnotes about what the scriptures mean are very helpful. This book is written with the scriptures of the New International version, so it is user friendly. At the end of the book there a number of writings and essays concerning the gospels, how they were written and other important things that readers of the gospels should know.
I recommend this book to any student of the scriptures or anyone who enjoys studying the gospels. This book is a great resource that makes studying the gospels much easier.

Summary: An excellent resource for studying the life of Jesus.
Comment: This helpful book arranges the four gospels in parallel columns, following the life of Jesus. It is a very helpful resource for anyone desiring to know what Jesus said and did in chronological order. Also, the book provides excellent essays and notes about various interesting and controversial issues involved in studying Jesus' life. It uses the New International Version in the text, making it available to all English readers. I use this book as an important part of the course I teach to ministerial students on the life of Jesus.
