Synopsis

Excerpt from Gospel Origins: A Study of the Synoptic Problem

But the recognition of a deutero-mark in the first Gospel, and an attempt to separate this element, has led the author to a second conclusion, and this is that the Logia of St. Matthew are not lost, as so many have thought, but actually exist, sandwiched between distinctly Markan sections, in the Gospel which bears St. Matthew's name. This led to an attempt to define the source Of the sayings thus compiled by St. Matthew, a source generally indicated by the formula Q.' Finally, when, in the case Of the third Gospel, the Markan section, or proto-mark was removed, together with the sections taken from Q thus defined, the remainder appeared to possess so many common features that it seemed possible to bring the whole Of it under one designation, and to ascribe it to a single author ship. It is hoped that it may be seen that outstanding features Of the three Gospels may be fairly accounted for in this way, and that the sources from which the three evangelists derived their material afford a sufficient guarantee for the deeds and words Of Jesus as these appear in the three Gospels.
