Book cover

In "A Harmony of the Gospels for Students of the Life of Christ Based on the Broadus Harmony in the Revised Version" by Archibald Thomas Robertson, the author presents a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the four Gospels of the New Testament. This book serves as an invaluable resource for students and scholars seeking a deeper understanding of the life and teachings of Christ.

Robertson's approach to harmonizing the Gospels is meticulous and well-researched. He carefully examines the synoptic Gospels—Matthew, Mark, and Luke—and collates their accounts with the Gospel of John. This harmonization allows readers to gain a more complete picture of the events and teachings of Jesus, as they are presented through various perspectives.

One of the strengths of this book is its accessibility to students. Robertson's writing style is clear and concise, making complex theological concepts and historical context easily understandable. He provides helpful explanations and commentary throughout the text, enriching the reader's comprehension and engagement with the material.

Another noteworthy aspect of Robertson's work is his reliance on the Revised Version of the Bible. This translation, known for its accuracy and scholarly rigor, enhances the reliability of the book's content. By basing his harmonization on this trusted version, Robertson ensures that readers can have confidence in the accuracy of the scriptural quotations and references.

What sets this book apart from other harmonies of the Gospels is Robertson's inclusion of additional material. Alongside the harmonized accounts, he incorporates supplementary explanations, alternative interpretations, and insightful commentary. These additions not only provide a deeper understanding of the Gospel narratives but also encourage readers to delve further into their study of the life of Christ.

However, one limitation of this work is its heavy reliance on textual analysis and comparison. While this approach is valuable for understanding the distinctive characteristics of the Gospels, some readers may find it overwhelming or excessively detailed. It would have been beneficial if Robertson had included more contextual information or practical applications of the harmonized Gospel accounts to balance out the scholarly focus.

Overall, "A Harmony of the Gospels for Students of the Life of Christ Based on the Broadus Harmony in the Revised Version" is an essential resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive and scholarly understanding of the Gospels. Robertson's meticulous harmonization, insightful commentary, and reliance on the Revised Version make this book a valuable asset for students, scholars, and anyone interested in deepening their knowledge of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

PREFACE

It is now just thirty years since one day his young assistant suggested to Dr. John A. Broadus that he prepare a harmony of the Gospels that should depart from the old plan of following the feasts as the turning points in the life of Jesus. He acted on the hint and led the way that all modern harmonies have followed. The book has gone through a dozen large editions and has become the standard harmony for many thousands of students all over the world. Broadus was concerned to bring out "the inner movements of the history, towards that long delayed, but foreseen and inevitable collision, in which, beyond all other instances, the wrath of man was made to praise God...
