Writing and Rewriting the Gospels : John and the Synoptics
Outline : A compelling reappraisal of the relationships between the canonical gospels
How are the canonical gospels interrelated? Biblical scholars have been asking this question for centuries, yet today they are more divided than ever regarding possible solutions. James W. Barker takes up the question and reappraises the evidence by drawing on his expertise in ancient compositional practices. He compellingly argues that Mark was written first; Matthew draws on Mark; Luke draws on Mark and Matthew; and the last of the four, John, is dependent on all three Synoptics and was meant to be read alongside them. This judicious and ambitious study will be of interest to New Testament scholars as well as general readers who want to know more about the literary relationships between the canonical gospels.
