Later several more pericopes were added. The investigation ended up with a sayings source consisting of a coherent set of aphorisms, all attributed to Jesus.<br /><br />It is good to know that someone else intends to explore this radical approach to the synoptic problem!<br />Ron Pricehttp://homepage.virgin.net/ron.price/syno_home.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-25075429903613848522012-10-30T08:50:20.642-04:002012-10-30T08:50:20.642-04:00Yes, I know that is not Goodacre's position. ...Yes, I know that is not Goodacre's position. It reflects an area of exploration for me personally. What if Luke took extra JB material, temptation material, etc from Matthew and "Q" was really only limited to sayings material?Ken Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745548537303356655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-9624999726776040392012-10-30T07:57:14.737-04:002012-10-30T07:57:14.737-04:00Your reference to "Questioning Q" here a...Your reference to "Questioning Q" here appears a little strange, for none of the contributors to this book defends the need to posit the existence of a sayings collection in addition to Luke's use of Matthew. However if you are really commending the theory that Luke knew Matthew in addition to Mark and a sayings collection (the Three-Source Theory), then I entirely agree. And it's not that complicated! It would explain, for instance, "you are to give him the name Jesus" (Mt 1:21 // Lk 1:31), without giving up on the idea of a sayings collection. The existence of the latter is supported by the sayings doublets in Matthew and Luke, and by the observation that in many cases Luke appears to have the more original version of the whole or part of an aphorism.Ron Pricehttp://homepage.virgin.net/ron.price/syno_home.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
