In the second century, well before the “canonical” gospels took their present form, Tatian wove from the four gospels and one or more Judaic-Christian gospels, one harmonized account of the life of Christ, the Diatessaron. The Earliest Life of Christ is an English translation of the Diatessaron based on the Arabic version, itself a translation from the lost Syriac.
