Weekend Fisher has produced a fine chart, showing how the four gospels differ in emphasis, and what they have in common, using word analysis. For example, the four words used most commonly in all the gospels include "Jesus" and "God." John uses "world" and "believe" more often than any of the other gospels. In previous posts, she explained her methods, and gave further information. The chart in her post is a link to a larger version of the chart.
For the mathematically literate, her chart is a Venn diagram.
Thanks for reading. You should find her chart to be interesting and easy to understand.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I use the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible, and try to cite it appropriately. I also use the World English Bible (WEB), which is public domain. I am grateful.
