Michael Spencer...plumbling the depths of the gospels

Michael Spencer aka The Internet Monk has a great post called, " Ten Guidelines for Interpreting the Gospels."  Here's number 1 as an appetizer to get you hungry for more.

1. Don’t harmonize the Gospels. That’s like taking four paintings and combining them into one. You come up with something no one painted and no one intended to paint. Let each Gospel author be an artist in his own right. However, a Gospel synopsis, such as those available from UBS, are very useful and important in comparing Gospel texts to one another WITHOUT harmonizing them.
