EVANGELICAL HARMONY

The Evangelical Harmony, or Harmony of the Gospels, were the title of works written with a view to prove the substantial agreement of the four evangelists. The heretic Tatian composed in the second century the Diatessaron, the first work of this kind, a continuous narrative of the events written in the gospels. From this harmony all passages were omitted which favoured the doctrine of the real humanity of Christ, and hence told against the peculiar doctrines of Tatian. Theophilus of Antioch is said to have composed a book of a similar kind, and Ammonius Saccas executed another Diatessaron, with the corresponding passages arranged in parallel columns. The Ten Indexes of Eusebius probably appeared in the first half of the fourth century, and was more complete than its predecessors.
