A '''gospel harmony''' is an attempt to compile the [[canonical gospels]] of the [[Christianity|Christian]] [[New Testament]] into a single account.<ref name=Cox3/> This may take the form either of a single, merged [[narrative]], or a tabular format with one column for each gospel, technically known as a '''synopsis''', although the word ''harmony'' is often used for both.<ref name=Cox3/>

Harmonies are constructed for a variety of purposes: to create a readable and accessible piece of [[literature]] for the general public,<ref name="The Single Gospel">{{cite book|last1=Averitt|first1=Neil|title=The Single Gospel|date=2015|publisher=Wipf and Stock|isbn=978-1498221580|pages=xix–xx}}</ref> to establish a scholarly [[Chronology of Jesus|chronology of events]] in the [[Life of Jesus in the New Testament|life of Jesus]] as depicted in the canonical gospels, or to better understand how the accounts relate to each other.<ref name=Cox18/>

Among academics, the construction of harmonies has been favoured by conservative scholars, though one scholar, B. S. Childs, opposes this.<ref>France, R.T. [https://biblicalstudies.org.uk/pdf/vox/vol16/harmony_france.pdf "Chronological Aspects of 'Gospel Harmony',"] ''Vox Evangelica'' 16 (1986): 33–60.</ref> Students of [[higher criticism]] see the divergences between the gospel accounts as reflecting the construction of traditions by the [[Early centers of Christianity|early Christian communities]].{{sfn|Cox|Easley|2007|pp=1–2}} Among modern academics, attempts to construct a single story have largely been abandoned in favour of laying out the accounts in [[Parallel passage|parallel columns for comparison]], to allow critical study of the differences between them.<ref name="Christianity, Vol 2005 page 39">{{Citation | title = The Encyclopedia of Christianity | volume = 4 | publisher = Eerdmans | year = 2005 | page = 39}}.</ref>

==Overview==
A gospel harmony is an attempt to collate the Christian canonical gospels into a single account.<ref name=Cox3/> Harmonies are constructed by some writers in order to make the gospel story available to a wider audience, both religious and secular.<ref name="The Single Gospel"/> Harmonies can be studied by scholars to establish a coherent chronology of the events depicted in the four canonical gospels in the [[Life of Jesus in the New Testament|life of Jesus]], to better understand how the accounts relate to each other, and to critically evaluate their differences.<ref name=Cox18/><ref name="Christianity, Vol 2005 page 39"/>

The terms ''harmony'' and ''synopsis'' have been used to refer to several different approaches to consolidating the canonical gospels.<ref name=Cox3/>  Technically, a "harmony" weaves together sections of scripture into a single narrative, merging the four gospels. There are four main types of harmony: ''radical'', ''synthetic'', ''sequential'' and ''parallel''.<ref name=Cox3/> By contrast, a "synopsis", much like a parallel harmony, juxtaposes similar texts or accounts in parallel format, synchronized by time, while preserving their individual identity, usually in columns.<ref name=Cox3>Steven L. Cox, 2007 ''Harmony of the Gospels'' B&H Publishing {{ISBN|0805494448}} pp. 3–4</ref> Harmonies may also take a visual form and be undertaken to create narratives for artistic purposes, as in the creation of picture compositions depicting the life of Christ.<ref name=corby/>

The oldest approach to harmonizing consists of merging the stories into a single narrative, producing a text longer than any individual gospel.<ref name=Cox18>Steven L. Cox, 2007 ''Harmony of the Gospels'' B&H Publishing {{ISBN|0805494448}} p. 18</ref> This creates the most straightforward and detailed account, and one that is likely to be most accessible to non-academic users, such as lay churchgoers or people who are reading the gospels as a work of literature or philosophy.

There are, however, difficulties in the creation of a consolidated narrative. As [[John Barton (theologian)|John Barton]] points out, it is impossible to construct a single account from the four gospels without changing at least some parts of the individual accounts.<ref name="John Barton 2013 page 59">John Barton, ''The Old Testament: Canon Literature and Theology Collected Essays of John Barton'' (Ashgate Publishing, 2013) p. 59. {{ISBN?}}</ref>

One challenge with any form of harmonizing is that events are sometimes described in a different order in different accounts – the [[Synoptic Gospels]], for instance, describe Jesus overturning tables in the Temple at Jerusalem in the last week of his life, whereas the Gospel of John records a counterpart event only towards the beginning of Jesus's ministry. Harmonists must either choose which time they think is correct, or conclude that separate events are described. Lutheran theologian [[Andreas Osiander]], for instance, proposed in ''Harmonia evangelica'' (1537) that Jesus must have been crowned with thorns twice, and that there were three separate episodes of [[Jesus and the money changers|cleansing of the Temple]].<ref>[[Graham N. Stanton|Graham Stanton]], ''Gospel Truth? New Light on Jesus and the Gospels'' (HarperCollins, 1995) p. 8; [[John S. Kloppenborg|John S. Kloppenborg Verbin]], "Is There a New Paradigm?", in Horrell, Tuckett (eds), ''Christology, Controversy, and Community: New Testament Essays in Honour of David R. Catchpole'' (Brill, 2000), p. 39.</ref>  On the other hand, commentators have long noted that the individual gospels are not written in a rigorously chronological format.<ref>{{Cite book|title=A Christological Catechism (quoting Augustine)|last=Fitzmyer|first=Joseph A.|publisher=Paulist Press|year=1991|pages=158}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title="Introduction to Matthew," in The Expositor's Bible Commentary vol. VIII|last=Carson|first=D.A.|publisher=Zondervan|year=1984|pages=38–39}}</ref>  This means that an event can be described as falling at two different times and still be the same event, so that the substantive details can be properly brought together in a harmony, although the harmonist will still have the task of deciding which of the two times is more probable.

A less common but more serious difficulty arises if the gospels diverge in their substantive description of an event.  An example is the incident involving the centurion whose servant is healed at a distance. In the Gospel of Matthew the centurion comes to Jesus in person;<ref>{{bibleref2|Matthew|8:8–9|NRSV}}</ref> in the Luke version he sends Jewish elders.<ref>{{bibleref2|Luke|7:6–8|NRSV}}</ref> Since these accounts are probably describing the same event, the harmonist must decide which is the more accurate description or else devise a composite account.<ref>[[Mark Allan Powell]], ''Jesus as a Figure in History: How Modern Historians View the Man from Galilee'' (Westminster John Knox Press, 1998), pp. 12–13.</ref><ref>{{cite book |first=Gregg |last=Zegarelli |title=ONE: The Unified Gospel of Jesus, Second Ed. |publisher=OUG Press |year=2017|isbn=978-1548461263}}</ref>

The modern academic view, based on the broadly accepted principle that Matthew and Luke were written using Mark as a source, seeks to explain the differences between the texts in terms of this process of composition. For example, Mark describes John the Baptist as preaching the forgiveness of sins, a detail which is dropped by Matthew, perhaps in the belief that the forgiveness of sins was exclusive to Jesus.<ref>[[Francis Watson (theologian)|Francis Watson]], "Must the Gospels Agree?" in Stuart G. Hall, ''Jesus Christ Today: Studies of Christology in Various Contexts'' (Walter de Gruyter, 2009) pp. 72–73.</ref>

The modern popularizing view, on the other hand, while acknowledging these difficulties, deemphasizes their importance. This view suggests that the divergences in the gospels are a relatively small part of the whole, and that the accounts show a great deal of overall similarity.<ref name=Cox3/> The divergences can therefore be sufficiently discussed in footnote in the course of a consolidated narrative, and need not stand in the way of conveying a better overall view of the life of Jesus<ref name=Cox3/> or of making this material more accessible to a wider readership.

To illustrate the concept of parallel harmony, a simple example of a "synopsis fragment" is shown here, consisting of just four episodes from the [[Passion (Christianity)|Passion]].<ref>Steven L. Cox, Kendell H Easley, 2007 ''Harmony of the Gospels'' {{ISBN|0805494448}} pp. 207–211</ref> A more comprehensive parallel harmony appears in a section below.

==Early Church and Middle Ages==
[[Image:LondonCanonTables.JPG|upright|thumb|250px|A 6th–7th-century use of the [[Eusebian Canons]] to organize the contents of the gospels in the [[London Canon Tables]]]]
[[Tatian]]'s influential ''[[Diatessaron]]'', which dates to about AD 160, was perhaps the first harmony.<ref name=Cox3/><ref name=Aune190/><ref>''The Westminster Dictionary of New Testament and Early Christian Literature'' by David Edward Aune (2003) {{ISBN|0664219179}} pp. 127, 211</ref> The ''Diatessaron'' reduced the number of verses in the four gospels from 3,780 to 2,769 without missing any event of teaching in the life of Jesus from any of the gospels.<ref name=Cox3/> Some scholars believe Tatian may have drawn on one or more noncanonical gospels.<ref>Bart Ehrman, Zlatko Plese, ''The Apocryphal Gospels: Texts and Translations'' (Oxford University Press, 2011) p. 231.</ref> The [[Gospel of the Ebionites]], composed about the same time, is believed to have been a gospel harmony.<ref>Ron Cameron, ''The Other Gospels: Non-canonical Gospel Texts'' (Westminster John Knox Press, 1982) p. 103.</ref>

Variations based on the ''Diatessaron'' continued to appear in the Middle Ages. For example, the [[Codex Sangallensis]] (based on the 6th century [[Codex Fuldensis]]) dates to 830 and has a Latin column based on the [[Vulgate]] and an [[Old High German]] column that often resembles the ''Diatessaron'', although errors frequently appear within it.<ref name=RobS28/> The Liege harmony in the [[Limburgish|Limburg dialect]] (Liege University library item 437) is a key [[Western Christianity|Western]] source of the ''Diatessaron'' and dates to 1280, although it was published much later.<ref name=RobS28/><ref name=Krans188/> The two extant recensions of the Diatessaron in Medieval Italian are the single manuscript Venetian from the 13th or 14th century and the 26 manuscript Tuscan from the 14th–15th century.<ref name=RobS28>''Tatian and the Jewish Scriptures'' by Robert F. Shedinger (2002) {{ISBN|9042910429}} pp. 28–32</ref><ref name=Krans188>''Patristic and Text-Critical Studies'' by Jan Krans and Joseph Verheyden (2011) {{ISBN|9004192891}} pp. 188–190</ref>

In the 3rd century [[Ammonius of Alexandria (Christian philosopher)|Ammonius of Alexandria]] developed the forerunner of modern synopsis (perhaps based on the ''Diatessaron'') as the [[Eusebian Canons|Ammonian Sections]] in which he started with the text of Matthew and copied along parallel events.<ref name=Cox3/><ref name=Erwin41>''Encyclopedia Christianity: v. 4'' by Erwin Fahlbusch (2004) {{ISBN|0802824161}} p. 41</ref> There are no extant copies of the harmony of Ammonius and it is only known from a single reference in the [[Epistula ad Carpianum|letter from Eusebius to Carpianus]].<ref name=Erwin41/> In the letter Eusebius also discusses his own approach, i.e. the [[Eusebian Canons]] in which the texts of the gospels are shown in parallel to help comparison among the four gospels.<ref name=Erwin41/>

In the 5th century, [[Augustine of Hippo]] wrote extensively on the subject in his book ''[[Harmony of the Gospels]]''.<ref name=Lancel >''Augustine through the ages: an encyclopedia'' by John C. Cavadini 1999 {{ISBN|080283843X}} p. 132</ref> Augustine viewed the variations in the gospel accounts in terms of the different focuses of the authors on Jesus: Matthew on royalty, Mark on humanity, Luke on priesthood and John on divinity.<ref name=Tuckett38 >''Christology, Controversy and Community'' by David G. Horell and Christopher M. Tuckett (2000) {{ISBN|9004116796}} pp. 37–40</ref>

[[Clement of Llanthony]]'s ''[[Unum ex Quatuor]]'' (''One from Four'') was considered an improvement on previous gospel harmonies,{{sfnp|Smalley|1981|p=250}} although modern scholars sometimes opine that no major advances beyond Augustine emerged on the topic until the 15th century.<ref name=Cox6/> Throughout the [[Middle Ages]] harmonies based on the principles of the ''Diatessaron'' continued to appear, e.g., the Liege harmony by Plooij in [[Middle Dutch]], and the Pepysian harmony in [[Middle English]].<ref name=Krans188/><ref name=Erwin41/> The Pepysian harmony (Magdalene college, Cambridge, item Pepys 2498) dates to about 1400 and its name derives from having been owned by [[Samuel Pepys]].<ref name=Krans188/>

==15th–20th centuries==
[[File:Branteghem Gospel harmony Antwerp 1537.JPG|upright|thumb|250px|The cover of Branteghem's 1537 visual gospel harmony, [[Antwerp]]<ref name=Celeste2/>]]
In the 15th and the 16th centuries some new approaches to harmony began to appear. For example, [[Jean Gerson]] produced a harmony in 1420 which gave priority to the [[Gospel of John]].<ref name=Erwin41/> [[Cornelius Jansen (Bishop of Ghent)|Cornelius Jansen]] also published his harmony in 1549, focusing on the four gospels and even referring to the Acts of the Apostles.<ref>François, W. (2012). Augustine and the Golden Age of Biblical Scholarship in Louvain (1550–1650). In: Gordon B., McLean M. (Eds.), bookseries: Library of the Written Word, vol: 20, ''Shaping the Bible in the Reformation: Books, Scholars and Their Readers in the Sixteenth Century''. Leiden: Brill, 235–289 [252].</ref> On the other hand [[John Calvin]]'s approach focused on the three synoptic Gospels, and excluded the Gospel of John.

By this time visual representations had also started appearing, for instance, the 15th-century artist [[Lieven de Witte]] produced a set of about 200 woodcut images that depicted the ''[[Life of Christ in art|Life of Christ]]'' in terms of a "pictorial gospel harmony" which then appeared in Willem van Branteghem's harmony published in [[Antwerp]] in 1537.<ref name=corby>''[https://books.google.com/books?id=C8vYRVoqzf4C&q=gospel+harmony&pg=PA398 Seeing Beyond the Word: Visual Arts and the Calvinist Tradition]'' by Paul Corby Finney 1999 {{ISBN|080283860X}} p. 398</ref><ref name=Celeste2/> The importance of imagery is reflected in the title of Branteghem's well known work: ''The Life of Jesus Christ Skillfully Portrayed in Elegant Pictures Drawn from the Narratives of the Four Evangelists''<ref name=Celeste2>''The Authority of the Word: Reflecting on Image and Text in Northern Europe, 1400–1700'' by Celeste Brusati, Karl A. E. Enenkel and Walter S. Melion (2011) {{ISBN|9004215158}} pp. 2–6</ref>

The 16th century witnessed a major increase in the introduction of gospel harmonies. In this period the ''parallel column structure'' became widespread, partly in response to the rise of [[biblical criticism]].<ref name=Cox6/> This new format was used to emphasize the trustworthiness of the gospels. It is not clear who produced the first parallel harmony, but [[Gerardus Mercator]]'s 1569 system is a well-known example.<ref name=Cox6/><ref name=Sandy35>''What Have They Done to the Bible?: A History of Modern Biblical Interpretation'' by John Sandys-Wunsch (2005) {{ISBN|0814650287}} p. 35</ref> In terms of content and quality, [[Johann Jakob Griesbach]]'s 1776 synopsis was a notable case.<ref name=Cox6/><ref name=Sandy35/>

At the same time, the rise of modern biblical criticism was instrumental in the decline of the traditional apologetic gospel harmony. The Enlightenment writer, [[Gotthold Ephraim Lessing]], observed:

{{blockquote|Oh that most excellent Harmony, which can only reconcile two contradictory reports, both stemming from the evangelists, by inventing a third report, not a syllable of which is to be found in any individual evangelist!<ref>Gotthold Ephraim Lessing Werke, 8.51–52, cited in [[Francis Watson (theologian)|Francis Watson]], ''Gospel Writing: A Canonical Perspective'' (Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 2013), p. 80.</ref>|}}

W. G. Rushbrooke's 1880 ''Synopticon'' is at times considered a turning point in the history of the synopsis, as it was based on [[Marcan priority]], i.e. the assumption that the Gospel of Mark was the first to be written.<ref name=Cox6/> Thirteen years later, [[John Albert Broadus]] used historical accounts to assign priorities in his harmony, while previous approaches had used feasts as the major milestones for dividing the life of Christ.<ref name=Cox6/>

Towards the end of the 19th century, after extensive travels and study in the Middle East, [[James Tissot]] produced a set of [[commons:Gospel harmony (James Tissot)|350 watercolors which depicted]] the [[Life of Christ in art|life of Christ]] as a visual gospel harmony.<ref name=Dolkart70/> Tissot synthesized the four gospels into a singular narrative with five chapters: "the Holy Childhood, the Ministry, Holy Week, the Passion, and the Resurrection". He also made portraits of each of the [[Four Evangelists]] to honor them.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.org/details/brooklynmuseum-o4548-saint-luke-saint-luc |title=James Tissot: Saint Luke (Saint Luc) (1886) |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |publisher=Brooklyn Museum |access-date=25 October 2014}}</ref>

In the 20th century, the ''Synopsis of the Four Gospels'' by [[Kurt Aland]]<ref>Kurt Aland, 1982 ''Synopsis of the Four Gospels'' United Bible Societies {{ISBN|0826705006}}</ref> came to be seen by some as "perhaps the standard for an in-depth study of the Gospels."<ref name=Cox6>Steven L. Cox, Kendell H Easley, 2007 ''Harmony of the Gospels'' {{ISBN|0805494448}} pp. 6–8</ref> A key feature of Aland's work is the incorporation of the full text of the Gospel of John.<ref name=Cox6/> [[Bernard Orchard]]'s synopsis (which has the same title)<ref>John Bernard Orchard, 1983 ''Synopsis of the Four Gospels'' T&T Clark Publishers {{ISBN|056709331X}} {{Page?|date=April 2023}}</ref> was of note in that it took the unusual approach of abandoning [[Marcan priority]] and assuming the synoptic gospels were written with Matthean priority and Markan posteriority.<ref name=Cox6/>

==An example parallel harmony==
The following table is an example of a parallel harmony. The order of events, especially during the ministry period, has been the subject of speculation and scholarly debate. The order below is based on those of Anglican [[William Newcome]] in 1778<ref>{{citation |author=William Newcome |editor=Edward Robinson |title=A harmony of the Gospels in Greek, in the general order of Le Clere & Newcome, with Newcome's notes: Printed from the text and with the various readings of Knapp |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=04bNAAAAMAAJ |publisher=Gould and Newman |year=1834 |pages=v–xviii}}</ref> and Baptists Steven L.
