"This is an urgently needed book in New Testament studies . . . Goodacre's sharply argued book dismantles the shopworn case for Q and challenges us to think freshly about synoptic relationships . . .

The Synoptic Problem: A Way Through the Maze

Possibly the greatest literary enigma in history, the Synoptic Problem has fascinated generations of scholars. Yet the Synoptic Problem remains inaccessible to students, soon tangled up in its apparent complexities. But now Mark Goodacre offers a way through the maze, with the promise of emergence at the end, explaining in a lively and refreshing style what study of the Synoptic Problem involves, why it is important and how it might be solved. This is a readable, balanced and up-to-date guide, ideal for undergraduate students and the general reader.
