A Harmony of the Gospels for Historical Study
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1904. Third Edition. hardcover. 8vo 283pp. from Preface to the First Edition: "This Harmony, like the small Outline Handbook of the Life of Christ which preceded it, is intended to promote and facilitate the historical study of the gospels. [. . .] Accordingly we have made no attempt to harmonize what is not harmonious, but simply to exhibit the facts. Whatever discrepancies the four narratives contain, we have preferred to let the printed page display them equally with the agreements, rather than adopt an arrangement or a dissection which should withdraw them from view. Wherein the four writers differ, and how they differ, is precisely what the intelligent reader wishes to know; eventually he comes to value their writings even more for their differences than for their verbally exact agreements." Book G: evidence of damp stain to front board, age wear to boards and spine, name on FFEP, toning and offset to endpapers and text block, text clean, binding intact / no DJ. Item #1816
