Goulder and the Gospels - An Examination of a New Paradigm

Zusatztext An outstanding analysis of the contribution of Goulder to New Testament studies (Prof. Allan J. McNicoll, Institute for Christian Studies, Texas). "Goodacre does an expert job on a deserving scholar" (Prof Robert Gundry, Westmont College, Santa Barbara). Informationen zum Autor Mark Goodacre is Associate Professor in New Testament, Department of Religion, Duke University. Klappentext Goulder and the Gospels is the first comprehensive response to the radical challenge Michael Goulder has posed for New Testament scholarship. Goulder dispenses with all hypothetical sources-Q! M and L and postulates highly creative evangelists who write in the light of the liturgy. In this penetrating critique! Goodacre provides a critical overview of Goulder's work! focusing on several key areas! the vocabulary of Q! the language of the Minor Agreements! the creativity of Luke and the lectionary theory. He does not simply assess the plausibility of Goulder's ideas but also develops new ways to test them. The theories are sometimes found to be wanting! but at the same time Goulder is reaffirmed as one of the most important and stimulating Biblical scholars of this generation.
