QR code
"Sources of the Synoptic Gospels" by Carl S. Patton is an academic thesis written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the Synoptic Problem, addressing the interrelationships and dependencies among the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, while also analyzing a significant hypothetical source known as Q. The book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of scholarly opinions and contribute further insights into the complexities of the Gospels' composition. The
opening of this scholarly text outlines its dual purpose: to summarize recent investigations concerning the Synoptic Problem and to present additional findings by the author. Patton expresses the importance of understanding how Matthew and Luke utilized Mark as a source, emphasizing that the narrative structures and theological emphases of the Gospels result from these complex interdependencies. Furthermore, he acknowledges the difficulty in assigning credit for ideas and conclusions within the academic discourse surrounding the Synoptic Gospels, highlighting his reliance on previous scholars while asserting his unique contributions to the analysis of the Q source and its evolution into distinct traditions within Matthew and Luke.
