All Four Gospels Unified into One Book Using New Technology by a Dedicated Student of Religion

Pittsburgh, PA – Using new technology, the four Gospels of Jesus: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, have been unified for the first time in the recently released book, ONE. There are versions for Christians and Non-Christians.

The author, Gregg Zegarelli, is a well-known Pittsburgh technology attorney. He spent over two and a half years on the project and says that this is the first time in 2000 years a unification of the Gospels has been available because of new technologies. ONE is 230 pages, with 3,000 references to the source scriptures. (O.U.G. Press $24.95. Available online at www.MyOneBible.com.)

No single source Gospel contains the entire story of Jesus:

• Only one Gospel has the statement, “Father forgive them.”
• Only two contain the nativity story.
• Only three contain the temptation of Christ.

According to Zegarelli, “You get Jesus’ teachings in bits and pieces. Even as an attorney, I found it difficult to combine the events from the four Gospels in my mind. I thought, ‘There must be an easier way. Has it really been this hard for 2,000 years?’”

Zegarelli, a technology attorney and former computer consultant, used new technology to unify the Gospels. He says, "If you asked Frank Lloyd Wright why his buildings were not built 2,000 years ago, he would say that the technology at the time did not support the design for the idea. Only now has technology become available to support the design for ONE."

“It was as if four witnesses came into my office with four different stories and wanted me to take their case,” Zegarelli says. “They all tell the story differently. But, that story must be presented clearly and consistently. My job, as the attorney—what we attorneys are trained to do—is to reconcile the evidence, and to present the story seamlessly. Then, the impact is compelling.”

Shawnna Davis, who has read ONE, says, “I read the Gospels often. When I read ONE, there was a passage I did not recall, so I went to the [Unification Index] and referenced back to the source Gospel. I thought, ‘Wow.’ Presented this way, the Word stays with you.”

How has ONE has been received? “Overwhelmingly” says Zegarelli, “It is easier to read and fully documented. If religion divides, it’s the devil’s game. When someone reads ONE, they are taking their valuable time to read Jesus’ message of love, and that is, I think, something for all of us to embrace.”
