Four Gospels, four vantage points on one life — and here Saint Theophan the Recluse sets them side by side and lets them run as a single stream. From the angel's word to Zechariah to the empty tomb and the road to Emmaus, he threads the accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John into one continuous narrative of Christ, pausing between the scenes only to mark how one follows upon another. It is the whole story of the Lord, told in order, in the Gospels' own words.
