Description: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Paul takes you on a journey through the Synoptic Gospels and the Epistles providing a new solution to a literary puzzle that has vexed biblical scholars for over two-hundred years--The Synoptic Problem. When the Synoptic evangelists, Matthew, Mark, and Luke sat down to write their gospels did they have copies of some of the epistles? This book examines the Synoptic Gospels, Hebrews, and Paul's Epistles finding many intriguing similarities, suggesting that the Synoptic evangelists used extensive parts of the epistles to weave into their stories of the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. David Oliver Smith then compares these epistle-based passages to the theoretical lost gospel Q and finds that a large portion of what many New Testament scholars consider to be contained in Q may have its inspiration in the Epistles. About the Contributor(s): David Oliver Smith has dedicated his retirement years to applying his training in legal research to the study of the New Testament and its puzzles. He is a member of the State Bar of Texas and has a BA from the University of Colorado and a JD from Duke University. He has published several articles on the law of taxation in legal periodicals.

A Definitive and well thought out discussion on Gospel authorship

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book evaluates the authorship of the Gospel of Mark and also compares the impact Mark had on Matthew and Luke. The author gives very definitive arguments regarding Pauline impact on the the Gospels and I believe very successfully demonstrates that Pauline epistles, Hebrews and the OT are the source materials for the Gospel of Mark, and further, that all of the above and Mark are the source materials for Matthew and Luke. He clearly demonstrates that there is no need for the Q theory. Also, complete passages of Biblical text are given so the reader does not need to continually go to the Bible or other source materials. I learned a great deal from this book and believe I have a much clearer view of the authorship of the Gospels with respect to time, intent, and source materials

R. G. Price

The right approach to understanding how the Gospels were written

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2019

As someone who has read numerous analyses of the Gospels, I must say that this is the most sound analysis of Gospel authorship I have seen. The author is not a credentialed "Biblical Scholar," but the soundness of his approach is evident. This is a highly polished and very professional publication. Everything is well cited and the author makes use of all of the relevant and appropriate scholarship in the field.

As someone who was already aware of many of the concepts put forward in this book, I still learned a tremendous amount and was very impressed by the clarity and specific examples used to demonstrate the thesis.

What we are dealing with here is a different approach to understanding how the Gospels were written than what is used by "mainstream biblical scholars." The approach used by D.O.S. is actually far more demonstrable, testable, and sound than the mainstream approaches, which we must remember have been developed almost entirely by Christian theologians as opposed to scientists or historians. Whereas most theologians rely heavily on claims that various elements of the Gospels come from unknown lost sources or lost oral traditions, and essentially fabricate imaginary ways that the Gospels could be traced back to eyewitnesses of Jesus, what we have in this work is concrete evidence of the evangelists' use of the Pauline epistles as the source of much of the narratives and dialog.

This work goes hand-in-hand with Mark Goodacre's Case Against Q. Whereas Goodacre makes a compelling case that there is no Q source, and that Luke had used both Matthew and Mark to create his narrative. Goodacre doesn't fully explain the origin of the Gospel material. D.O.S. adds to the Case Against Q by showing that, not only did Luke use Matthew and Mark, he also used Paul, and he did this because he could see that both Matthew and Mark were using Paul as well. All this provides a much more coherent explanation for the Gospel material than what Christian theologians offer.

Essentially, this is an analysis of the Gospels that is led by evidence as opposed to faith. As such, I believe that this is really an essential work for serious scholars of Gospel origins. One day this book will be recognized as critical scholarship.

Best book on the subject

Reviewed in France on March 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

I’ve read many books on this subject recently :

- The Birthing of the New Testament
- Mark and Paul : comparative essays part 1 & 2
- The Quest for Mark's Sources: An Exploration of the Case for Mark's Use of First Corinthians
- Mark Canonizer of Paul

But this book is the best one, the author goes deeper into the subject and it’s very convincing.

A must read.

Outstanding master piece of res

Reviewed in Germany on February 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Outstanding master piece of biblical research that shows that the Q document has never existed. The gospels would be rather brilliant literary forgeries based mainly upon Paul's letters.
