Beyond the Q Impasse: Luke's Use of Matthew - A Demonstration by the Research Team of the International Institute for Gospel Studies - Tapa blanda

'The Research Team of the International Institute for Gospel Studies has made an invaluable contribution to contemporary discussion of the synoptic problem. A team of scholars committed to the Two Gospel Hypothesis explores uncharted waters by offering for the first time in any language a credible account, pericope by pericope, of Luke's use of the Gospel of Matthew. This volume merits the attention of scholars interested in the synoptic problem and redaction criticism. Its findings must be either seriously considered or boldly refuted.' --Arthur J. Bellinzoni, Wells College, Aurora, NY

'...this work is a welcomed contribution to Synoptic Problem research Team is to be commended for recognizing the need for such a study. Advocates from all perspectives should eagerly anticipate the second part of the Research Team's project, a redactional analysis of Mark's conflation of Matthew and Luke.' --Robert A. Derrenbacker, Jr., Wycliffe College, Toronto School of Theology.

Based on decades of painstaking, collaborative research, this volume claims a historic breakthrough in understanding the Gospel of Luke, that is, that Luke systematically and respectfully used sequences of material from the canonical Gospel of Matthew in writing his own Gospel.
Contrary to the conventional scholarly opinion, the international research team that produced this study argues that there is no need to suppose that Luke made any use of the Gospel of Mark or the hypothetical Gospel "Q". The volume thus takes Gospel studies beyond the theological impasse precipitated by the Q hypothesis toward a more rational understanding of Gospel-making activity of the earliest Christian generation.
