    Product Description

    This book discusses the composition of the synoptic gospels from the perspective of the Farrer hypothesis, a view that posits that Mark was written first, that Matthew used Mark as a source, and that Luke used both Mark and Matthew. All of the articles in the volume are written in support of the Farrer hypothesis, with the exception of the final chapter, which criticizes these articles from the perspective of the reigning Two-Source theory. The contributors engage the synoptic problem with a more refined understanding of the options set before each of the evangelists pointing towards a deepened understanding of how works were compiled in the first and early second centuries CE.

    The contributors include Andris Abakuks, Stephen Carlson, Eric Eve, Mark Goodacre, Heather Gorman, John S. Kloppenborg, David Landry, Mark Matson, Ken Olson, Michael Pahl, Jeffrey Peterson, and John C. Poirier.

    John C. Poirier and Jeffrey Peterson Introduction
    Chapter 1: Andris Abakuks - A statistical time series analysis to test whether Matthew and Luke are independent in their use of Mark
    Chapter 2: Stephen Carlson - A study of Acts's knowledge of Matthew
    Chapter 3: Eric Eve - An exegetical study of the Beelzebul Controversy in source-critical perspective
    Chapter 4: Mark Goodacre - A study of Mark-Q overlaps
    Chapter 5: Heather Gorman - A demonstration of Luke as rhetorically well-ordered narrative
    Chapter 6: David Landry - A study in Lucan compositional method
    Chapter 7: Mark Matson - A study in Lucan compositional method
    Chapter 8: Ken Olson - A discussion of Luke's so-called method of "unpicking" what he takes from Matthew
    Chapter 9: Michael Pahl - A study of how Luke changed Matthew's particularist or exclusivist outlook to a more universalist or inclusivist outlook
    Chapter 10: Jeffrey Peterson - A study showing that Q, if truly constructed according to the approach of Q scholarship, should include both a birth narrative and a passion account
    Chapter 11: John C. Poirier - A study of Luke's rejection of Matthew's birth narrative, as motivated by his disdain for the idea that Jesus' birth was astronomically determined
    Chapter 12: John S. Kloppenborg - A concluding response to the other essays in the book, written from the standpoint of the Two-Source theory
