- The Synoptic Problem
- Proto-Mark
- Early version of Mark
- Gospel of Thomas
- Discovered in 4th Century
- Consists of logia (sayings) which are 50% shared with synoptics
- Ireneaus (Early Church Father) only mentioned Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
- No evidence of proto-mark or gospel of Thomas
- Two Source Hypothesis
- Matthew and Luke both used Mark and a separate source called Quelle
- Mark does not use Source Q
- However, there is no evidence for Q
- Q is never mentioned in earliest Christian literature
- Four Source Hypothesis
- Streeter's theory < 3 :)
- Matthew was writing to a Jewish audience
- Luke was writing to a Gentile audience
- A development of the 2 source hypothesis
- Matthew and Luke both still use source Q however, they each had access to their own individual sources
- Matthew = M
- Luke = L
- Matthew and Luke both still use source Q however, they each had access to their own individual sources
- General Knowledge
- asks how should we respond to the similarities and differences that exist in the synoptics
- There are differences in narrative structure, ordering and the wording of key phrases
- 31 verses of Mark are not found in Matthew or Luke
- 1 Gospel is the basis of the other 2
- Priority of Mark
- Proto-Mark
