Bible: New Revised Standard Version Gospel Parallels (Bible
An excellent study guide, easy to use and understand - showing the synoptic Gospels in parallel makes them easier to read, see and understand. Features lots of notes and references, a great read for a Serious Bible Student

Very good synopsis
This is a classic synopsis, using the English (NRSV) text of the first three canonical gospels. The layout is great, the print clear and legible. Excellent for close reading of the gospel texts in the usual parallel columns (Mt, Mk, Lk). Where doublets or similar phenomena occur, both texts from the same gospel are listed side by side (for example, Mt 5:31-32 has Mt 19:9, Mk 10:11-12 and Lk 16:18 in parallel columns). Of course, the good print size means that the fourth gospel had to be left out. Mostly that is not a problem, but of course in some instances it is useful to have it. Still, at least the references to Jn are offered, so one can go look it up. Also helpful are smaller texts printed at the bottom of the page, offering useful extra-canonical material where appropriate (Gospel of Thomas, Didache, etc.). On the whole: a must-have for the serious study of the gospels, certainly for anyone who does academic theology. Of course, if you are REALLY serious, you would need to read a Greek synopsis, but that is another story...

Outstanding
Bible: New Revised Standard Version Gospel Parallels is an outstanding Bible. The first three Gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke are placed side by side so that the stories and words can be compared.

Using this Bible it is amazing how much of Mark - Matthew used. While I knew that from my studies seeing the text side by side have helped.

This Bible is in my consent use and I recommend it highly.
