Review: The Fourth Synoptic Gospel - Word&Way Writing in a clear and accessible style, scholar Mark Goodacre takes a unique approach to showing that John knew and used the narratives of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

Our first review of the year from @drbobcornwall.bsky.social covers John's contested relationship with Matthew, Mark, and Luke as explored in @goodacre.bsky.social's "The Fourth Synoptic Gospel" (@eerdmansbooks.bsky.social).

It was such an honor to be there for Bart Ehrman's last lecture tonight at UNC Chapel Hill. He spoke on "The Most Significant Discovery in the History of Biblical Studies" to an absolutely packed auditorium, to a standing ovation.

Did John Copy the Other Gospels? | Bart Ehrman vs. Mark Goodacre, Face to Face on the Bible
YouTube video by Bart D. Ehrman Did John Copy the Other Gospels? | Bart Ehrman vs. Mark Goodacre, Face to Face on the Bible

On Sunday, I debated with Bart Ehrman, "Did John Know the Other Gospels?" It ended up being a bit more spicy than the "fireside chat" we had anticipated. The first half of the debate is now on Youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=REXn...
