Compositional textbooks -- Who was Plutarch? -- Parallel pericopes in Plutarch's lives -- Parallel pericopes in the canonical gospels -- Synthetic chronological placement in the gospels -- Pericopes appearing two or more times in the nine lives of Plutarch examined -- Pericopes appearing two or more times in the canonical gospels examined -- Which women were present at the cross, burial, and empty tomb? -- Biosketches of main characters in Plutarch's lives.
Summary: Why are there differences in the stories of the Gospels? Licona turns to Greek classicist Plutarch for an answer, assessing differences that appeared when Plutarch told the same story more than once in his Lives. He suggests the differences in the Gospels often resulted from their authors employing the same compositional devices used by Plutarch.
