Negative Positive
Title: Persuasive details derived from meticulous research
Review: The collaborative effort of David B. Peabody (Nebraska Wesleyan University, Lincoln, Nebraska), Lamar Cope (Carroll College, Waukesha, Wisconsin), and Allan J. McNicol (Austin Graduate School of Theology, Austin, Texas), One Gospel From Two: Mark's Use Of Matthew And Luke offers a dissenting voice from the mainstream claim that Mark was the first Gospel historically written, and that Matthew and Luke borrowed materials for their accounts from Mark, among other sources. Instead, One Gospel From Two claims that the Gospel of Mark was dependent upon those of Matthew and Luke. Iconoclastic and highly recommended reading for students of New Testament Studies, the extensive analysis of literary details, careful annotation, an erudite text, and persuasive details derived from meticulous research, distinguish One Gospel From Two as a carefully conceived and a particularly well-argued New Testament study.
