Unravel the clues behind the Synoptic Problem and Luke’s surprising sources.

This scholarly study challenges long-held ideas about a common source for Matthew and Luke by focusing on the order of non-Marcan material. It argues that Luke’s arrangement can be explained through direct dependence on Matthew, not a separate hypothetical document.

This edition guides readers through careful analysis of how Luke’s order differs from Matthew’s and what those differences reveal about authorship, revision, and how the gospels were constructed. It builds a case for rethinking the Two-Document Theory in light of the phenomena of order in shared material.

Careful comparison of non-Marcan passages shared by Matthew and Luke
Examination of how Luke’s revisions align with Matthew’s text
Discussion of why the Q hypothesis may be unnecessary
Clear, methodical presentation suitable for students and scholars

Ideal for readers of classical biblical criticism, this work offers a precise, evidence‑driven look at how Luke likely used Matthew as a primary source.
