Overview

The Composite Gospels is a new kind of tool for studying the parallels and differences that exist in the Gospel stories. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all tell the same story of Jesus’s life, teaching, death, and resurrection, but they each present that material in different ways, even among the three Synoptic Gospels.

Arranged by similarities in the content of the narrative and then annotated with additional information about the people and events involved, the goal of the Composite Gospel is to bring together accounts which are common to one or more Gospels. Efforts to present a unified or harmonized account of the four gospels go back at least as far back as the 2nd century. But the Composite Gospel is not a harmony per se. The purpose is not to bring the different accounts into agreement, or address places where the narratives appear to be in conflict, but to suggest the best possible coordinated arrangement of the sources as they have come down to us. In that context, the Composite Gospel helps lay out a new perspective on the larger story of Jesus’ life beyond the individual Gospels.

This dataset is still under construction, but will be downloaded once it is complete.

    I bought this resource for its chronology, which it is. But, it is so much more. Each segment of events has a pericope or title identifying what it is. Then there are links to every person, place, thing, and event. It has links to topics such as anger, peace, etc. as well as the voice of the writing such as narrative or genealogy. Best of all, I can read it in any Bible version I have in Logos. This is a resource useful to everyone from the newest Christian to the most seasoned preacher or teacher. For the teacher or preacher, there is a list of covered topics, people, places, and many other categories of thought on which to focus for a sermon or lesson. For the new or seasoned Christian, the links before the section give definitions and details about every person, place or thing in the text. Just hover over the link or click on it for more detail. Every link takes you to Factbook or the reference takes you to your target Bible. The following is an example header. Every point is a link to Factbook (except the title): 55: THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS ASK JESUS ABOUT FASTING Content: Question; Teaching Themes: Alcohol; Fasting and Abstinence; Marriage; Parables; Revival Speakers • A Person • Jesus • Disciple of John • Teachers of the Law • Pharisees • Messengers from John the Baptist Addressees • Jesus • People • Disciple of John • Teachers of the Law • Pharisees • Messengers from John the Baptist Other Participants • Pharisees asking for a Sign Settings • Capernaum Things • Clothing • Patch • New wine • Wineskin Events Jesus’ Galilean ministry › Jesus preaches in Capernaum again › Jesus defends his disciples for not fasting Sean Boisen, Composite Gospel: Parallel Passages (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2017), Mt 9:14–Lk 5:39.
