Thought this was an interesting resource to share.
I'm still looking into it, so if anyone finds some serious fault in the work, please inform...

Looks interesting and thorough at first glance. I often do this myself in teaching a passage (as many Bible teachers do), but I've never seen it in book format, especially to this extent.
I do think it is significant that God saw fit to give us 4 canonical gospels, but there is nothing wrong, and very much right in my opinion, with putting together a work like this. Could prove a useful resource.

I bought a similar book back in 1987 called "The Gospels Interwoven" compiled by a guy named Kermit Zarley. The old-timers will remember him as a PGA golfer in the 70's and 80's. His work was not as scholarly as this one appears to be. Zarley took the NIV and used one of those new-fangled personal computers with a word-processing program to interweave the 4 Gospels into one continuous narrative. I found it to be a good read.
I don't see anything wrong with squeezing the 4 Gospels into one narrative as long as you consider the results to be a commentary on the 4 Gospels.

Very good point.
