Best Gospel Harmony
I'm kind of new to all of this… I'm looking for the 'best' Gospel Harmony that I can purchase on Logos but is also still available in Print for purchase also. Anyone have good suggestions?

@Chuck Kelley It may of course depend on whether you have a translation preference. This one uses a modern translation.

Best three in my opinion ⬆️

Darrell Bock's Jesus According to Scripture is an outstanding resource IMHO. It's not a harmony per se. It provides short commentary on every incident in Jesus' ministry, while pointing out differences between accounts, all in a general chronological order. A separate section is dedicated to John's Gospel.

Thanks for mentioning this - its looks very useful
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

I also do own
But you might also like this one. It just make use of the CSB. But the author is also a very well known author.
This one is the original one

@Chuck Kelley here is a 8 day reading plan you can try that I have made from the A Simplified Harmony of the Gospels. You can at least get the feeling of it. It does not have the notes.

@Chuck Kelley I have added for you notes on first two sections from A Simplified Harmony, If you can choose the NKJV translation and join this notebook, you will be able to see them.
Just let me know when you are done with these so I can remove them again.

@Lukas , Ok, I have joined the notebook and the reading plan (and made a personal copy). I also bought the book A Simplified Harmony of the Gospels but I haven't looked into it much yet.
but….
I do have more questions now… How did you get the 'notes' out of the book and put that into a notebook and share it?

@Lukas , I've tried to figure out how you created this notebook and the only thing I can come up with was that you manually copied and pasted each note into a new note. Is that how you did it?

@Chuck Kelley hope you are doing well. That is exactly what I have done so that you could see what its about so you could make a decision.

That was a LOT of work just for me. I just wanted to acknowledge that and say how much I appreciate you. THANK YOU! If you are ever in the Western Slope of Colorado, coffee is on me! Thanks again!

@Chuck Kelley it was nothing really. I did not do much. In fact I am thinking of using it to build a complete reading plan, and then I have this 365 readings through the Gospel book that I want to use as my second reading. So this might be something for me also.
for the coffee, it would unfortunately need to include a plan ticket also as I am in South Africa.0 -
@Lukas , Yes, that would be quite the trip for Coffee! 😉 Either way, thank you!
I wish this platform offered the ability to DM, I would love to be able to connect. My email is in my profile if you are interested, hit me up.

@Chuck Kelley I'm sure there used to be a way to DM others. I know I've messaged 2 or 3. Not sure if that functionality still exists though. Others may know.

It exists at and is active for people you share a group membership with, i.e. not just anybody. This is to largely avoid harassment, soliciting and other negative side-effects from such a feature.
Thus as of now, I could DM you, Paul (we are both members of the large Free Faithlife Books group) but not Chuck. If I wanted to DM him, I could invite Chuck to become member of a group I'm admin of, possibly a new one I could make with a few clicks just for the purpose of DMing. Works like a charm.
Have joy in the Lord!

@Chuck Kelley I don't know if you would be interested in this, , but I use this book with my reading plan for some insight on the text. Now you have the option to follow it through in a year from Matthew to John or you can build your own harmony by using the outline this book gives. It takes a bit of time, but for me it works. It has some great insights. The notes comes from the Geneva Study Bible. If you are interested let me know then I can share some of the notes like I did with the Simplified Harmony.
