This week the guys dive into John Wenham’s intriguing 1992 book Redating Matthew, Mark and Luke: A Fresh Assault on the Synoptic Problem. As they unpack the dense argument, see how Wenham challenges the generally accepted order of the synoptic gospel accounts (supposedly Mark and the mysterious “Q” come first) as well as the generally accepted “late” dates for each (beginning in the 60s-70s at the earliest). Using close comparative readings as well as placing the texts in a strict historical context, Wenham builds a case for the traditional, patristic chronological order of the gospels as well as dates much closer to the events of the life of Christ. So, get your pericopes in order and be prepared to rethink everything you thought you knew about “oral tradition.”
