The Progressive Publication of Matthew
B Ward PowersPaperback 2010-12-01
Publisher Description
Scholars have long debated the "Synoptic Problem"--questions about why and how the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke share so much common material. Entering this important discussion that involves the trustworthiness of the Gospels, B. Ward Powers writes: "I am suggesting that the key to the Synoptic Problem lies in the recognition that one of the Gospels--Matthew--was written and published in stages. That is, the Gospel of Matthew had its beginning in a series of separate documents authored by the apostle Matthew over a period of some years, which thereafter were circulating independently in the churches, before being edited and expanded by this same apostle Matthew into the Gospel we now have." In "The Progressive Publication of Matthew," Powers fleshes out his proposal, measuring it against other theories with due diligence and respect.
