In this ingenious work the four biographies of Christ are given in the language of the Gospels, but so arranged and blended as to form one continuous narrative. When known, the period and place at which the events described occurred are noted. Where the Evangelists have given more than one account, the fullest one, or the one which best harmonized with the preceding subject, has been taken and the peculiarities of the others interwoven therewith.
“The work is well done, and will be welcome aid to many in the study of the New Testament.”—The Examiner, N. Y. City.
“Mr. Pittenger has done his work skillfully and the book cannot but prove helpful to the Bible student.”—Witness, Montreal.
“It is a useful and important work for Sunday-Schools and Bible classes engaged in the study of the Word.”—Western Christian Advocate, Cincinnati.
“The Interwoven Gospels is an exceedingly helpful and convenient arrangement, based on a good plan, and well wrought.”—Rev. Richard G. Greene, East Orange, N. J.
“The work supplies an arrangement that most readers feel the need of, for obvious reasons, and is very useful as an introduction to study of the New Testament.”—The Globe, Boston.
“The advantage of such a book, both to a young reader and to a teacher of New Testament history, in bringing the gospel narratives into their proper relations, and in giving a clear mental view of the times and seasons to which events belong, must be apparent,”—The Interior, Chicago, Ill.
“The author has made the Gospels (in the language of the Gospels) an easy and finished biography of Jesus Christ, and offers a book to the Bible student second to none other on the life and works of Christ. It is worthy of room in every family and Sunday-School library.”—Express, Easton, Pa.
“If put into the hand of a child as his first introduction to the study of the New Testament, it will be read as an ordinary connected history; and when the Gospels in their common form are afterward read, the relation of their different parts will be at once understood, and many otherwise perplexing questions may never even arise.”—The Church Year, Jacksonville.
“This is not a Harmony, in the general sense of the term. Though in the general line of helps in the study of the Evangelical Narrative, it is something more practical, more living, and shows ‘the mark of the tool’ less than any Harmony we are acquainted with. This, we believe, can be read, and may be used intelligently in the study of The Word. It should find its way into the libraries of our pastors and Sunday-School teachers.”—The Guardian, Philadelphia.
