Detailed Description: Christians know that there are four separate Gospels of Jesus: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Gospels describe the life of Jesus, including his teachings and the circumstances of his death with first-hand statements of Jesus himself. However, as Christians also know, none of the four Gospels contain the entire story of Jesus.

For example, did you know:

Only Matthew tells the story of the "wise men" visiting Jesus at birth.
Only Luke tells the story of the Shepherds visiting Jesus at birth.
Only Mark tells the time that Jesus was crucified.
Only John tells the story of Jesus washing the Apostles feet.
Only Matthew and Luke share the story of the Poor Woman's Gift.
Only Matthew and Mark share the story of the Greatest Commandment.
Only Luke tells the "Father forgive them, they know not what they do" quotation from Jesus on the cross.

Therefore, to grasp the entire life and teachings of Jesus, the reader must read four books: all four Gospels. Then, the reader must try to remember all the text and integrate it in the reader's mind to understand the entire message. In reality, only scholars have the capability to accomplish such a reconciliation through very detailed study. Everyone else learns about Jesus in bits and pieces. For some, it's just too hard.

But, it does not have to be that hard. Using technologies never before available, the author has effective superimposed all four Gospels onto each other and removed duplication. What is left is simply all parts of the four Gospels that are the same and all parts that are different. The one unified Gospel that transcends all four testimonies.

Now, in only 230 pages--shorter than most novels--the reader gets the entire message of Jesus with greater clarity and impact. Although some will find this work suitable for their entire study of Jesus, this work is intended to supplement and not to replace the source works; however, after reading this work, because of its clarity, impact and ease of reading, the reader should have a far greater understanding of the original Gospels and the life and teachings of Jesus.

For the preacher, student and scholar, the author has documented the unification process in a 56-page Unification Index that contains 3,000 references back to the original source Gospels. Each of those 3,000 references cites back to as many as four of the source Gospels, depending upon how many sources were used for the particular text.

Let us illustrate with one representative example (see Unification Samples and the View Inside pages for more examples):

In Matthew 18:21-22, the command to forgive is as follows:

Then Peter approaching asked him, 'Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?' Jesus answered, "You should forgive him, not seven times but seventy-seven times.

In Luke 17:3-4, it is as follows:

Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him.

Only Luke has an express condition of repentance. A reader of the Gospels must put these two different verses together in his or her mind to gain a full understanding of the message. In ONE, the text reads as follows:

^[1707]Then Peter approaching asked him, "Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?”^[1708]Jesus answered, ^[1709] “Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. ^[1710] And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him. ^[1711] I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times."

The different fonts are used here for illustrative purposes. See ONE:1707-1711. It reads in the unified text very smoothly as follows:

¹⁷⁰⁷Then Peter approaching asked him, "Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?”¹⁷⁰⁸Jesus answered, ¹⁷⁰⁹ “Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. ¹⁷¹⁰ And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him. ¹⁷¹¹I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.

In this way, ONE reads as easily as novel for the casual reader, with greater impact and clarity, and the preacher, student and scholar and source the [1707-1711] references back to the Unification Index, and then back to the divine works.

ONE is a truly unique and important work that everyone should read now.
