Excerpt from The Story of the Nazarene: In Annotated Paraphrase The following narrative repeats the gospel story as told by the four Evangelists. Their narratives are here combined, neglecting doctrinal matter in favor of events. It arranges all, save one of these, in their actual historical order as to time and place. Uncertainties are not discussed, but the solution that seems most reasonable is adopted and stated without demur. Much care has been taken with the natural and logical divisions of the events in order to correct a very common confusion, and to enable the gospel reader to acquire such a clear and correct notion of their orderly occurrence as is perhaps rarely attained. As an aid to a better understanding of the events the related secular history of the day, both Jewish and Roman, is interwoven in the narrative. Other accessory matter has been added concerning chronology, geography, topography and localities, the social customs and political incidents of the time in accord with recent biblical scholarship, and the approved results of archaeology. Still there is no deviation from the traditional view of Protestants and Catholics alike, unless for cogent reasons.
