HOW TO READ THE GOSPELS
I. |
Paul and the Gospel |
|
|
The Early
Church and the Gospels |
| The Attempt
to Harmonize I: Tatian the "heretic" |
| The
Endorsement of Diversity |
| The Attempt
to Harmonize II: Monochrome (Matthean) Reading of the Gospels |

| The Value of
Synoptic Readings II: the miracles (Parable of the Paralytic) |
