Why are there differences in the gospels? : what we can learn from ancient biography / Michael R. Licona ; foreword by Craig A. Evans. - 1 online resource (xxi, 308 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Compositional textbooks -- Who was Plutarch? -- Parallel pericopes in Plutarch's lives -- Parallel pericopes in the canonical gospels -- Synthetic chronological placement in the gospels -- Pericopes appearing two or more times in the nine lives of Plutarch examined -- Pericopes appearing two or more times in the canonical gospels examined -- Which women were present at the cross, burial, and empty tomb? -- Biosketches of main characters in Plutarch's lives.
Why are there differences in the stories of the Gospels?
