| What is the current explanation about how the synoptic gospels came about, that is, explain the two source theory of the formation of the gospel texts of Mark, Matthew, and Luke. Why is John not included in this process | The problem is why are there so many similarities between the gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke? The gospel of John is written in an entirely different style from the other three. The two source solution is that Mark wrote first. His gospel is then the first source that Matthew and Luke used as they composed their gospels. Yet, Matthew and Luke have like material that Mark does not have. They must have had/used a second source of sayings and miracles. This second source is identified as "Q" or "quelle", a German word for "source". John is written much latter than the other three. See the email I sent yesterday morning where I tried to summarize the ideas of the 4 gospels. |
