ABOUT:

​

God has inspired sacred volumes of scripture to guide His children in our day: the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Together, these works testify of Jesus Christ and reveal God’s dealings with humanity across time. Yet each book is presented independently—written by different authors, in different lands, across different centuries, and often in non-linear timelines. While each volume stands powerfully on its own, understanding how they fit together historically can be challenging.

​

Harmony of the Gospels exists to bring these sacred records together—interweaving all four standard works into a single, chronological timeline, from the Creation of mankind to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

​

 

​​​​WHY THIS SITE EXISTS:

​​

This project began with a simple desire to study the Four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—side by side, comparing each account of the same events without constantly flipping pages. Jesus calming the storm. Teaching the multitudes. Suffering in Gethsemane. Each gospel writer’s unique details contribute to a fuller, richer understanding of the Savior’s life and ministry. But it was hard to find a resource that presented them side by side, verse by verse. So this website was born.

​​

But as the project grew, so did the question: Why stop there?

​​

 

A BROADER HARMONY:

​

Many of the same events in scripture appear in multiple books, often recorded out of chronological order. God has worked with humanity from the beginning, yet each prophet and writer has recorded their experiences differently, from different locations, and at different moments in history.

​

For example, prophets such as Jeremiah, Lehi, Nephi, Daniel, and Ezekiel were all contemporaries, living in the great city of Jerusalem before it was destroyed and its people were scattered literally around the world. Alongside them lived rulers such as Nebuchadnezzar, Pharaoh Necho II, King Zedekiah and his son Mulek. We’ve heard dozens of names in Sunday School, yet these people lived at the same moment of time, many in the same city. How do they all fit together? Their stories are contained in at least six different books: 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah, 1 Nephi, Daniel, and Ezekiel. Reading chronologically brings these overlapping accounts into clearer focus.

​

The same is true for the books of:

• Genesis, Moses, and Abraham

• Isaiah and 2 Nephi

• And many others

​​​​

This site was expanded to include all scriptures that are all part of Christ’s restored gospel. ​In that sense, this project truly is a Harmony of (all) the Gospels.​​​

​​​

 

ABOUT THE TIMELINE:

​​

• All dates are approximate.

• A perfect scriptural timeline doesn't currently exist. Many records don't contain enough historical background to know where they fall in history. Even scholarly sources often disagree on dates and sequencing.

​​​

Many sources were consulted to create the most reasonable chronology possible. While some dates may change as new information becomes available, this general estimate still helps gospel learners find historical context and make connections.

​​

Because events are organized chronologically rather than by traditional book order, users may wish to consult the Scripture Index to locate specific verses or passages.
