The Interwoven Gospels American Revised Edition by William Pittenger (1888) Antiquarian Book

Antique 1889 The Interwoven Gospels — Victorian Biblical Harmony by Rev. William Pittenger

An 1889 first edition of The Interwoven Gospels: The Four Histories of Jesus Christ Blended into a Complete and Continuous Narrative in the Words of the Gospels, compiled by Rev. William Pittenger and published in New York by John B. Alden.

Created during the late Victorian era of American biblical scholarship, this unusual theological study sought to harmonize the four New Testament Gospel accounts into a single continuous narrative using only the text of the Gospels themselves. Prepared according to the Revised Version of 1881 with readings preferred by the American Committee of Revision, the volume reflects the growing 19th-century interest in comparative Gospel study, devotional reading, and organized biblical chronology.
