Publisher's Synopsis
The Gospel of Jesus is a chronological harmonized gospel intended to meet the needs of seekers, new, and growing followers of Jesus to learn and understand what Jesus said and did. Because humans live and learn in story, and Jesus taught in story, I have endeavored to capture the Story that Jesus tells through the five Gospels; Mark, Luke, Matthew, John, and Thomas, and Acts. A chronological gospel is simply ordered in time, from beginning, through the middle, to the end. A harmonized gospel weaves together sections of scripture into a single narrative, merging the five gospels into a single cohesive account. Reorganizing the gospels, and choosing the parallel passages that lend themselves to a coherent narrative, while staying true to the Gospel message was and is imperative. I created this gospel because over the years of Bible studies, Sunday School classes, and conversations the same questions come up; why are the same events in the four canonical gospels in different orders, why aren't all the events recorded in all the gospels, where should a seeker or new believer start in the bible, what is most important for the growing believer to read and study in scripture? My answer to those questions is this work. My intention, prayer, and calling is to expand this work into a study bible, and a source for bible studies. All of them culminating in a body of work used to build up followers of Jesus. The Third Edition contains verse numbers to make public readings, individual and group studies easier, and red lettering of the words of Jesus.
