Uncover how early writers influenced the formation of the gospels, and what they imply about their sources.
This edition surveys how authors like Justin, Clement, and the Apostolic Fathers quoted Jesus and the sayings that later became gospel material. It weighs the evidence for Matthew and Luke and explains how early tradition describes Hebrew or Aramaic roots and how memory and citation shaped early Christian literature.
Inside, you’ll see careful discussions of competing views on the origins of the gospel texts. It explains what early churches claimed about Matthew’s Hebrew workshop, how Papias described the Logia, and what later historians thought about the transmission of gospel material. The book helps a reader understand the scholarly methods used to study early Christian writings without requiring prior advanced training.
Ideal for readers of biblical history and those exploring how the New Testament texts came to be.
