Was the Gospel of John really written independently, or did its author know and use Matthew, Mark, and Luke as sources? This week, Duke professor Dr. Mark Goodacre is back to explore John’s surprising connections to the Synoptic Gospels and how these links could completely change how we read the New Testament.

Dr. Goodacre helps us explore:

– Did John really know and use the other Gospels?

– How “hidden details” connect John to Matthew, Mark, and Luke

– What this means for the Synoptic Problem and New Testament studies
