Gospel Parallels: A Synopsis of the First Three Gospels, With Alternative Readings From the Manuscripts and Noncanonical Parallels (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Gospel Parallels: A Synopsis of the First Three Gospels, With Alternative Readings From the Manuscripts and Noncanonical Parallels (Classic Reprint) The titles of some section headings have been changed from those used in the latest edition of Huck. In some cases this was required by the new translation. Another difference will be found in the printing of the parallels from the Gospel of John, except where a very long passage is involved. The Hazen Foundation made a generous subsidy toward the cost of the plates in order that the book might be available to students at as reasonable a price as possible. The committee supervising the preparation of the Synopsis was composed of Henry J. Cadbury, Harvard University Divinity School, Frederick C. Grant, Union Theological Seminary, and the late Clarence T. Craig, formerly of Yale University Divinity School and later Dean of Drew Theological Seminary. The detailed work of preparing the present volume was done by Burton H. Throckmorton, Jr., then instructor in New Testament at Union Theological Seminary and lecturer at Columbia University, now Professor of New Testament at Bangor Theological Seminary, Bangor, Maine. In the typing of the manuscript, the verification of references, and the completion of the manuscript citations, he has made an indis pensable contribution. Professor Kendrick Grobel of the Vanderbilt University School of Religion kindly assisted in reading the proof. It has been eight years since Gospel Parallels was first published. Its use of the Revised Standard Version, its arrangement following that of Huck’s Synopsis, and its fairly extensive footnotes — the three major features of this particular harmony or synopsis — have apparently proved useful to a large number of students. It is therefore reappearing in a second edition. In Spite of much proofreading, the first edition contained a number of errors. Most of these have been eliminated in subsequent printings; and it is our h0pe that in this edition all initial mis takes have been corrected.
