Full Description
When I first started seriously reading through the gospels, I wondered, Can all the words of the four Gospels be combined into one coherent account of the life of Christ?Could their four accounts of the life of Jesus be combined into one symphony of harmony? Or would it all be a mumble jumble of dissonance? Since I could not find an answer anywhere to satisfy my curiosity, I set out to give it a try. Much to my amazement, I was able to combine every noun, adjective, verb, and adverb into one account. I had but one problem with about twenty words when I was combining about one hundred thousand words from four accounts into about seventy thousand words in one account. Thus, it is my privilege to present you with a complete biography of the life of Jesus the Messiah. It includes one hundred percent of the material presented by Jesus' four biographers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). And it includes other biographical material about Christ found in the other books of the Bible.
