The Synoptic Gospels, Arranged in Parallel Columns.
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1962. Eighth Printing. Hardcover. Quarto. xxviii + 162pp. Navy publisher's cloth with gilt rules and titling to spine, index. Parallel text. The synoptic Gospels (the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke) are so-named because they record many of the same stories, usually from the same perspective, and often in a similar sequence and wording. In this work Thompson offers the first serious comparison of the texts in English: comparing "the parallel passages not merely en masse, but verse by verse and word by word." Light rubbing to cloth, spine ends and corners lightly bruised, a few light bumps to edges, pages lightly browned - overall a tight, and unmarked VG+ copy (no dust jacket if called for). Item #63209
