Category:Gospel Harmonies (subject)
A Gospel Harmony is the result of an attempt to compare or even merge/harmonize the four canonical gospels into a single coherent narrative.
Overview
In the second century, Tatian's Diatessaron is the earliest known example of Gospel Harmony. Ammonius of Alexandria is credited for creating in the 3rd century the first synopsis based on the Matthew narrative. In the 5th century, in his Harmony of the Gospels Augustine discussed the theoretical criteria for approaching correctly the issue.
The interest in writing a Gospel Harmony reemerged in the 16th century, thanks to the works of Charles Du Moulin and Gerhard Mercator.
The year 1776 saw the publication of the first Gospel Harmony authored in modern times by a specialist in New Testament Studies, Johann Jakob Griesbach.
In 1880 W. G. Rushbrooke composed the first Gospel Harmony that gave chronological priority to the Gospel of Mark according to the latest results of 19th-century scholarly research. It is followed by another very popular synopsis by John Broadus.
Burton Hamilton Throckmorton, Kurt Aland and Bernard Orchard were the respective authors of some of the most influential synopses of the 20th century.
