A Comparison

I still prefer Robertson’s work. Some notes are lifted right out of his work. It does not only a Premillennialism bias but many notes are not informational as Robertson by are completely from the Dispensational viewpoint.

A great study tool

Many Bibles show a list of what verses harmonize in the Gospels, but this harmony shows the verses side by side and puts the whole story of Christ in chronological order. It has become our most popular Bible study class. My only complaint would be the strong pre-millennialist bias in the footnotes, but that is minor compared to the clear literal translation in English of the gospel texts.

Valuable tool for all students/readers of the Bible

The book is well-coordinated and provides excellent footnotes which further amplify and clarify the Scripture in its historical/theological context. This edition, in the New American Standard Version, is easy to read, although I personally prefer the elegance of the King James Version (albeit that version does contain some obsolete and obscure words). It is wonderful to be able to compare the accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John side-by-side! I had a similar scholarly volume during my college days but somehow it and I parted company over the years (My old edition had a _sewn_ binding. Unfortunately, this edition has glued-in pages -- but the book should endure fairly well with reasonable care).You won't go wrong with this fine reference. It is certainly helpful to anyone who desires a fuller understanding and appreciation of the New Testament, especially regarding the life and sayings of Jesus.

An excellent resource for the study of the Gospels

This harmony is one of the best available and provides an excellent resource for readers from all backgrounds. The layout and additional helps both contribute added value to the very solid content.
