I amd very please to announce that I am officially launching a long time project, Four Gospels Together. www.fourgospelstogether.com This is actually only partial launch as I only have about half of the commentaries finished. Nevertheless, I have the largest section, the life of Christ, complete and I wanted to get the site going live and start to attract traffic.
If you’ve followed the blog, I’ve been talking about this project for a number of months. It has been very time consuming and I’ve faced my share of distractions in completing it. I now have commentary on over 100 gospel stories, covering the entire life of Christ. I still have miracles, parables, and teachings of Jesus to complete. I plan on saving the teachings for last because they will be the most in depth theologically. In retrospect the life of Christ is probably the hardest section to do however, not only because it is the largest but because of the details that need to be looked at.
My goal in this site is to compare and contrast the stories in the gospel. Because each gospel gives a slightly different account of what happened, I often find myself looking for a story, only to discover that it doesn’t contain the particular detail that I was looking for so I am forced to look for the story again in another gospel. The site provides all of the gospel accounts of one story on one page so that anyone can read all versions at one time.
In the commentary section I point out key differences between the accounts and try to put things in chronological order when there are a lot of things happening in one story.
I found myself using the research that I already did for this site as I completed my sermon series on the gospel of John. I believe that this site will be equally valuable for anyone who is studying or teaching anything from the gospels. I encourage everyone to check out the site and recommend it to friends if you like it. I’ll continue to provide updates as I get more of the site up.
