Description
In a "History of the Synoptic Problem," David Laird Dungan provides a comprehensive history of the debate from the beginning. He shows how scholars throughout the ages have defined and redefined the synoptic problem and resolved the contradictions using the intellectual tools of their day. Structuring his book around crucial historical figures such as Origen, Augustine, Erasmus, Spinoza, and Locke, Dungan discloses, for the first time, the political and economic agendas that guided their biblical interpretation. The result is a book that challenges the status quo and its insistence on the priority of Mark and the existence of Q.
Sure to make readers rethink their assumptions about the New Testament, Dungan's latest book is a controversial, bold contribution to what is already a heated debate.
