Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How Luke Was Written: Considerations Affecting the Two-Document Theory With Special Reference to the Phenomena of Order in the Non-Marcan Matter Common to Matthew and Luke
In criticism, no less than in natural science, the kind of answer which you get depends upon the kind of question that you put. In the investigation of the non Marcan coincidences of Matthew and Luke I submit that, through causes which are perspicuous and intelligible, the wrong question was put. From the first, one term in the Synoptic problem had been Mark, the other term mt.]lk. The manipulation of these terms in research concerning the Triple Tradition had recently issued in a striking success. Another problem, apparently a similar problem, had now to be faced. Coincidences in Matthew and Luke had again to be accounted for. What more natural than to operate with the same arrangement of terms as before? Mark is, in the nature of the case, eliminated. Mt.+lk. Remains. This term must now be related to some second term. The question was put, To what second term can we relate it?
