5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious!, March 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Take a dry subject and make it enchanting! Mark Goodacre has a talent that ought to be enjoyed by a wider audience. (Check out his podcasts and blog.) I enjoyed his arguments and find myself almost agreeing when I got the book specifically because I was diametrically opposed to his view!

4.0 out of 5 stars Accessible but doubtful, January 24, 2006
This book was admittedly expensive for its small size. However, the author provides a good introduction to the Synoptic Problem, allowing a person who is not familiar with the related scholarship to have a good grasp of the topic.

However, the content and arguments are biased towards one particular theory. As a student of philosophy, I personally find some of the reasoning of the author in favor of his position to be highly suspectible and weak.

Nevertheless, I benefited from reading this book, though I am sure there are better and more strongly argued scholarship on this topic
