At first sight, it appears an unproblematic tool: it allows the reader to note at a glance whether a point being made in one gospel’s text (sometimes as long as one of our chapters and on other occasions less than a sentence) is to be found in all four, or just three or two gospels, or nowhere else; and then, if appropriate, to find those ‘parallels’. As such it is a gospel ‘harmony’ which preserves the integrity of each gospel, and of the four distinct gospels in that it avoids creating a fifth text, a diatessaron.
