Summary: | The Synoptic Problem continues to be the subject of scholarly debate, and the traditional two-document hypothesis is not universally accepted today. One major tenet of the traditional theory is that Matthew and Luke are independent of each other, both depending on common source material, usually called ‘Q’. In a recent article entitled ‘On Putting Q to the Test’, Dr M. D. Goulder has sought to question the traditional theory by giving a number of examples which, he claims, show conclusively that Luke knew Matthew. Goulder's method is to look for parallel texts where there is an agreement between Matthew and Luke against Mark, satisfying two further conditions: that Matthew's text is redactional, and that Luke's text is un-Lukan (p. 219). The first of these two conditions precludes possible appeal to Q; the second precludes appeal to independent redaction by Luke of the Markan text. |
