FIVE COLUMN: Verse-By-Verse: Four Gospel Harmony and Merger

by Daniel John

This book is a complete verse-by-verse Four Gospel Harmony in four chronologically-aligned columns, side-by-side. The sets of parallel verses shared between the Gospels were unified on a word-for-word basis using a sixteen-step merging process to produce a unified Gospel text (Merger) in the fifth column , which is known as “ The Synoptic Gospel ”. Without the duplication and repetition between the parallel sections of the Gospels this story is more than 21% shorter to read, compared to reading the individual four Gospel accounts back-to-back, and with all of the sayings and events in order the story is clear and easy to understand.

Told in 360 Scenes of Action, understanding the Gospel story is further enhanced with more than 300 quotations and references from the Old Testament. Dates and Locations for each Scene, along with nine Maps of Israel and Jerusalem, make it easy to see not only what happened, but also when and where Jesus was when the event or saying occurred.

Included in this edition are seven Articles on why the FIVE COLUMN four Gospel Harmony and The Synoptic Gospel word-for-word Merger were created, along with a full set of the Notes that detail the features of this book. The Gospel Verse Cross-Reference Appendix shows which verses from the four original Gospels are part of a parallel set with another Gospel(s), and where within FIVE COLUMN and The Synoptic Gospel series those verses can be found.

About the author

I write to simplify and clarify understanding the meaning of the Holy Scriptures of The Bible. I have published two main works at this time, the first an expanded concordance of the entire Bible, and the other a unified word-for-word Merger of the four Gospel texts.

The "Sola Scriptura Topical Bible" series is an expanded concordance that lists all of the verses related to important spiritual topics and themes in full context, so that reading a topical Chapter will show you every reference to the subject in The Bible. Clarity is enhanced with each topical keyword displayed in bold font. Reading all of the related verses back-to-back gives a unique prespective on how The Bible uses the spiritual symbol or theme, using only the words of The Scriptures, without any commentary, so that each person will be inspired with an understanding about what the topic means.

"FIVE COLUMN" is an very advanced four Gospel Harmony that dispalys the parallel verses from the four Gospels chronologically in four columns side-by-side. A word-for-word Merger of the parallel verses is compiled in the Fifth Column, known as "The Synoptic Gospel". The "Verse-By-Verse Edition" available on Amazon is a great resource to quickly see the parallel stories and teachings from the Gospel, while the "Word-For-Word Edition" (available only on the fivecolumn.com website) shows how the Gospel verses were split into individual words using a sixteen step harmonization process to produce the unified Fifth Column merged text.

"The Synoptic Gospel" is the precise word-for-word Merger (synopsis) of the combined texts from the four parallel Gospels of the FIfth Column of "FIVE COLUMN" that is laid out chronologically with dates and locations for each Gospel Scene. It includes Chapter Maps of Israel and Jerusalem showing where Jesus Christ visited during His life and Ministry. Understanding of the sequence of the Gospel story is enhanced by seeing all of the events in order. Without the duplication between the parallel sections of the four individual Gospel texts this unified Gospel account is more than 21% shorter than reading the four Gospels back-to-back.

"The Red Letter Gospel" is a red letter edition of "The Synoptic Gospel" with all of The Words of Jesus Christ in bright red letters, making it easy to see everything that He said and taught within the combined Gospel story. Almost 48% of this unified Synoptic Gospel is the red letters words of Jesus Christ. (theredlettergospel.com)
