Studying the Synoptic Gospels
For For students starting serious academic study of Matthew, Mark and Luke and the methods applied to them; a textbook, not a devotional reading of the Gospels.
A textbook written with Margaret Davies and published by SCM Press in London and Trinity Press International in Philadelphia in 1989. It introduces students to the scholarly study of the first three Gospels: the questions of how they relate to one another and where their material came from (the Synoptic problem), the methods of form, redaction and other criticism that scholars use on them, and what they can and cannot tell the historian about Jesus. It draws on Sanders's earlier work on the transmission of the Synoptic tradition.
