In this video, I give a broad overview of the Synoptic problem and its relevance to Christian apologetics. I explain what the problem is supposed to be and I offer a survey of some of the most commonly proposed solutions to it. This video sets the stage for a thorough critique of the arguments for Markan priority and a two-part positive case for Matthean priority.

David, I like the word puzzle rather than problem. Very good insight.

Great job. Looking forward to the rest.

Excellent work as usual, brother… Can’t wait for the rest of the series.

Proposing that Matthew, not Mark, was the first Gospel written, John Wenham offers a fresh look at an intractable problem as well as an interesting perspective on the inner workings of the early Christian church.

Outstanding introduction to the Synoptic problem.

I think this is excellent and the channel is underrated. I’ve done my own analysis of this issue, but with a slightly different approach. I’ve come to the same conclusions as this and it’s hard to avoid. It frustrates me that so many just concede Markan Priority given how weak the arguments are…

@fennecbesixdouze1794

Couldn't the so-called "ur-gospel" simply be early fragments and drafts of Matthew and Luke (and possibly even writings of Mark) that were circulated through letters and other correspondence between the early church?

@PresbyterianPaladin Год назад

man this was great, the only problem is how long my "to read" list gets when I watch your videos. lol

@gg2008yayo

Great video! Do you know any scholars who hold to the gospels not being anonymous?

@matthewmencel5978 Год назад

You forgot the Lukian Priori view held by the Jerusalem School. Personally, I affirm the Two-Gospel hypothesis, I do think that if one is going to represent the landscape of the solutions to the Synoptic Problem/Riddle, that they must layout all of the solutions given.

Nice introduction, well done.

@CosmoPhiloPharmaco Год назад

Interesting video. Do you plan to make some video about presp again in the future or did you decide to move on from this topic?

@reeferfranklin Год назад

I kind of believe the Augustinian theory with one caveat, I believe there was also a Q-gospel that was oral & never committed to paper.

@leonardu6094 Год назад

I actually thought you abandoned this channel for some reason.

@willemjanblom2268 Год назад

Please don't go on the route of the two-gospel hypothesis. Markan Priority is very clear from an analysis of the Greek text and the patristic sources actually don't say that our canonical gospel of Matthew was written first.

@Achill101 Год назад

I would like to direct your attention to another hypothesis, Matthean Posteriority with Markan Priority, as advocated for by Robert K. MacEwen or Alan Garrow. The main argument is that Matthew has the best systematic order of the synoptic gospels: Mark and Luke would have to take that order apart to write their gospels. It makes more sense that Matthew took their gospels and put his own order into the material.
