Synopsis
This book probes discrepancies in the New Testament Gospels to shed light on their true nature and development. The author, a scholar in early Christianity, presents the theory that the Gospels are a product of oral tradition rather than direct transcriptions of immediate events. Through detailed analysis of passages from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the book challenges traditional harmonizations of these texts, suggesting instead an evolutionary process of storytelling and adaptation within early Christian communities. The author argues that by viewing the Gospels as oral compositions, we can better understand their fluidity, diversity, and profound human dimension. This fresh perspective enriches our appreciation of the New Testament and deepens our understanding of the origins and evolution of Christianity.
