THREE VIEWS ON THE ORIGINS OF THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS
Ed. by Robert L. Thomas
Kregel. 400 pages
ISBN 0 8254 3838 1

The well-tried format of evangelicals who differ stating their views and being offered the opportunity to critique others is here helpfully applied to the increasingly debated question of synoptic origins.

Three major contemporary views are engaged: those which recognise literary dependence and either prioritise Mark or Matthew and the view that affirms the three gospels were produced independently of one another. Discussion is prefaced and concluded by some reflections by the editor: the concluding remarks being a particularly helpful summary of the critical issues raised in the body of the work. The reader is well-equipped by this point to grasp the issues.
