The Complete Gospel Parallels
M**K
Great Bible Study Tool
A Gospel Parallels is a valuable tool for helping to understand the four Gospels. It lines up the text side-by-side from each of the four Gospels, so anyone can compare details that each writer has written about any event. Often writers includes a few details that the other writers left out. It gives anyone studying a more complete picture, so to me it's one of the handiest Bible study helps that anyone can buy. I highly recommend this Gospel Parallels for anyone who studies the Bible.

Complete & easy to use
I have found this book of gospels to be more inclusive than most (more gospels), and yet still easy to use.

If you have any interest in the New Testament, buy this book.
I love this resource. It is fantastic for comparing the gospels. If you are Christian or if you are interested in Christianity as a religion to study, this is such a fun resource. And it is very useful. I just enjoy looking at the subtle (and not so subtle) differences. It also has a section that attempts to reconstruct "Q" which is very cool. I recommend this book.

Excellent book to help one understand that each gospel stands alone.

Questionable scholarship
This is a pretty exhaustive gospel parallel volume, and I like that it includes some of the non-canonical gospels.What I find questionable are mainly 2 things:1. Editing is poor. Examples include words that should be hyphenated and aren't (cross referenced v. cross-referenced) and words that should be compound aren't (data base v. database). I would understand the changes in these details over time, but the book was published in 2012, not the 1980s. Simple things like this make me wary of the authorship.2. They are using a novel translation of the gospels. Reported as the "Scholars Version", I found that this version is only published by the same press and shares an author with this book. It seems to me that a legitimate scholarly study should use a more "standard" version of the Bible, as parallels can be shoe-horned with the excuse of a new translation. It feels like a plug to sell their other book.I'm no Bible scholar; these are just my thoughts.

A good discussion of all four gospels side by side
A good discussion of all four gospels side by side. A great guide to compare these books plus other gospel accounts not accepted into the bible.
