The Baha'i Faith's references to the New Testament

The following table, mainly events for which there is also a Wikipedia article, is an example of a parallel harmony, based on the list of key episodes in the Canonical Gospels maintained at Wikipedia. The order of events, especially during the ministry period, has been the subject of speculation and scholarly debate. While this harmony compares the work of several scholars, other harmonies may differ substantially on the placement of some events. The episode structure within the table is based on Edward Robinson's A Harmony of the Gospels in Greek as well as Steven L. Cox and Kendell H Easley's Harmony of the Gospels. There are more detailed versions - [1] and [2] and should add the rest of the New Testament - see [3] and [4]. The primary collection of Baha'i references to Christianity is James Heggie's Bahá'í References to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, secondarily from Michael Sours' Jesus Christ in Sacred Baha'i Writings (which as they are footnoted are used to refer to the originals for the links.)
