Book Description
Why are there differences in the stories of the Gospels? Licona turns to Greek classicist Plutarch for an answer, assessing differences that appeared when Plutarch told the same story more than once in his Lives. He suggests the differences in the Gospels often resulted from their authors employing the same compositional devices used by Plutarch.

Book Description
Formerly titled "Synoptic Gospels," Dr. Paul Caram’s study of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John will enable the reader to comprehend the whole story of the gospels by masterfully weaving together the accounts of all of the gospel writers. You will see how seeming discrepancies and dissimilarities, when viewed together give an enlightening perspective of the life and teachings of Christ, so that every believer would not only know and understand the ways of God, but also follow in His steps as true disciples of our Lord Jesus.

Book Description
Studying the Gospels from a New Perspective. Readers of the Bible have always known that the Gospels tell many of the same stories, usually with differences in detail, but sometimes with significant variations. Comparing the Gospels identifies these parallel passages and lays them side by side so you can compare them more easily. Relieved of the burden of flipping Bible pages back and forth among two, three, or all four of the Gospels, you can focus on what each witness has to report. As a rule, you will end up with a more complete picture of each episode, as details from each can often be combined. But you will also find some sources of perplexity, where two or more of the Gospel witnesses tell inconsistent stories. Sometimes it even seems not all the accounts of a particular episode can possibly be true. Bible students using this book will find it necessary to decide what to make of these conflicting pieces of evidence. Bible study leaders and students will find this approach intellectually challenging and a welcome change from classic book-of-the-Bible studies. Pastors developing a sermon on a particular theme will also find it useful to have at their fingertips all the Gospel passages that report on an episode in Christ's ministry.

Book Description
A compelling exploration of the biblical foundations, contemplative practices, and spiritual path of Jesus himself—from the bestselling author of The Case for Jesus “What happens when a biblical theologian explores classic spirituality? This book. Pitre’s students have asked, Why have we never heard this before? The reader wonders the same.”—Dr. David Fagerberg, author of Liturgical Mysticism The path of following Jesus is an ancient and storied spiritual tradition. Yet many believers are not familiar with the three major forms of prayer and the three stages of spiritual growth that exist to bring them closer to God. In his most personal book yet, Brant Pitre, PhD, draws on the riches of the Bible, the words of Jesus, and the writings of mystics across the centuries to shed light on the mystery—and wonder—of the spiritual life. Starting with the age-old belief that the path of prayer is not only informative but transformative, Dr. Pitre explores • the scriptural roots of the major forms of prayer: vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplation • the purgative, illuminative, and unitive stages of spiritual growth • the spiritual exercises of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving • the Jewish roots of the Lord’s Prayer • Lectio Divina: how to pray with the Bible • seven vices and their seven opposing virtues • the battle of prayer: how to deal with difficulty and distractions • the “dark night of the soul” in the Scriptures Full of sacred truths, contemplative insights, and practical steps, Introduction to the Spiritual Life is a biblical road map of the spiritual landscape that enables us to follow Jesus as our primary guide.

Book Description
A synopsis is a tool which displays different passages of a text side by side for comparison. This is most commonly done with the four Gospels of the New Testament because of their similar material, but it could reasonably be done with any text that has similar passages, such as the Old Testament historical narratives. The synopsis you presently hold contains the four Gospels of the New Testament. It is different from comparing parallel versions, such as one English translation to another, because all of the passages displayed in this synopsis are from the same version, the NET Bible. It is different from a harmony because the passages are not reorganized into one story; each Gospel in a synopsis is separate from the others and can be read by itself or in comparison with the others. This parallel arrangement enables fruitful comparison of the Gospels to each other so each may be understood well on its own in light of the others.

Book Description
This book comprehensively surveys the origin, production and reception of the canonical gospels in the early church. The discussion unfolds in three steps. Part One traces the origin of the 'gospel' of Jesus, its significance in Jewish and Hellenistic contexts of the first century, and its development from eyewitness memory to oral tradition and written text. Part Two then more specifically examines the composition, design and intentions of each of the four canonical gospels. Widening the focus, Part Three first asks about gospel-writing as viewed from the perspective of ancient Jews and pagans before turning to the question of reception history in the proliferation of 'apocryphal' gospels, in the formation of the canon, and in the beginnings of a gospel commentary tradition.
