This book is a complete verse-by-verse Four Gospel Harmony in four chronologically-aligned columns, side-by-side. The sets of parallel verses shared between the Gospels were unified on a word-for-word basis using a sixteen-step merging process to produce a unified Gospel text (Merger) in the fifth column, which is known as "The Synoptic Gospel". Without the duplication and repetition between the parallel sections of the Gospels this story is more than 21% shorter to read, compared to reading the individual four Gospel accounts back-to-back, and with all of the sayings and events in order the story is clear and easy to understand.

Told in 360 Scenes of Action, understanding the Gospel story is further enhanced with more than 300 quotations and references from the Old Testament. Dates and Locations for each Scene, along with nine Maps of Israel and Jerusalem, make it easy to see not only what happened, but also when and where Jesus was when the event or saying occurred. Included in this edition are seven Articles on why the FIVE COLUMN four Gospel Harmony and The Synoptic Gospel word-for-word Merger were created, along with a full set of the Notes that detail the features of this book. The Gospel Verse Cross-Reference Appendix shows which verses from the four original Gospels are part of a parallel set with another Gospel(s), and where within FIVE COLUMN and The Synoptic Gospel series those verses can be found.
