Parallel Gospels by Zeba A Crook
Parallel Gospels: A Synopsis of Early Christian Writing is an indispensable guide that enables readers to examine more easily how and where the early Christian gospels--Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Thomas, and Q--agree and disagree. Using his own unique approach to translating the original Greek texts into English, Zeba A. Crook offers the most literal, word-for-word translation available, helping readers to compare the structure, order, style, theology, and vocabulary of each gospel with the others.
"Parallel Gospels is a superb achievement which, in a single stroke, addresses the numerous problems of translation, formatting, and arrangement that have plagued current English synopsesIt is a tool that is optimally useful. I don't see any feature of either Aland or Throckmorton that should incline the instructor to keep using them once Crook is available (except, of course, inertia)."--John S. Kloppenborg, University of Toronto "Crook's synopsis is unique among English language synopses for its attention to the original language of the gospels. It allows much more meaningful comparison of the wording of the gospels than does Throckmorton. Because of Crook's careful translation of the texts, students who do not read Greek will have unprecedented access to the verbatim agreements among the synoptic."--Colleen Shantz, University of St. Michael's College
