Abstract:
AbstractThis article questions the applicability of traditional Form Criticism to noncanonical gospels. Traditional Form Criticism has relied heavily on assumptions about the evolution of the Jesus tradition which were developed exclusively from observations of the Synoptic Gospels. These assumptions generally relate to the ideological climate in which Jesus materials developed, including issues such as the tradition users' Christology and sense of "history." Because noncanonical gospels developed in contexts of alternate, non-synoptic ideologies, it is unreasonable to presuppose that the surface texts of these gospels developed in ways identical to the development of Synoptic materials. The methodological priority granted to the Synoptic Gospels in NT Form Criticism is described here as "Synoptic Eclipse." This issue is explored by examining Helmut Koester's extensive work on the Gospel of Thomas. It is demonstrated that Koester's consistent advocacy of the value of Gos. Thom. is hindered methodologically as Koester is forced to utilize the tools of traditional NT Form Criticism. Koester is typical in this respect of the recent wave of scholars who seek to learn more about the primitive Jesus tradition by examining noncanonical materials.

Abstract:
Abstract A perennial and seemingly irresolvable conflict affecting the studies of early Christianity, the quest for the historical Jesus, and the Synoptic Gospels has been whether the Gospel of Thomas and the diverse traditions that it preserves should be dated before or after the Synoptic Gospels. Scholars have primarily tended to resolve the issue by establishing its independence from or dependence upon the Synoptic Gospels. Recently, however, there have been signs that new methods may be opening up new vistas with respect to the dating issue. To name but a few, the diverse scholarship of Nicholas Perrin, April DeConick, and Risto Uro has been devoted to establishing new and creative methods precisely with respect to this problem. This essay seeks to use an alternative methodology whereby we examine a particular logion, in this case logion 53 on circumcision, and attempt to plot its particular teaching on an early Christian trajectory. After briefly surveying a few alternative methods for dating the Gospel of Thomas, we examine logion 53 within the Gospel of Thomas and suggest that its teaching on circumcision fits well within the larger Thomasine context, and then compare it with other early Christian texts on circumcision. We suggest that this logion fits well within a late first century or early second century context.

Abstract:
For ten years I taught an undergraduate Theology course called “Hollywood Jesus.” This essay is an outgrowth of that course, and is based on a research topic that I often had students explore in papers. Utilizing the first two miracles in the first three Hollywood Jesus movies (Cecil B. DeMille’s The King of Kings (1927), Nicholas Ray’s King of Kings (1961), and George Stevens’s The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) this essay argues that these three Hollywood Jesus films are nearly as closely intertwined as the Synoptic Gospels themselves. Viewing these films in conversation with each other can raise students’ awareness of how the Synoptic Gospels themselves might be inter-related, and how they might be reshaping their sources for changing circumstances. My thesis, in part, is that the changing location of the films’ miracle stories reveals an increasing movement in American culture towards a privatization of religious experience—one that moves from the public arena, to the home and “the church.” While the gospels themselves do not exhibit this same movement, nevertheless, careful attention to the different gospel texts reveals comparable socio-political and theological changes. For students, “seeing” the similarities and differences in the cinematic representations can turn into “believing” that similar strategies might be at work in ancient written texts like the gospels.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this essay I shall consider ancient rhetoric as a means to suggest synoptic relationships. Focusing on the stylistic virtue of ornatus ("adornment"), I shall examine three triple tradition sentences in which the gospel of Mark employs a word used nowhere by the gospels of Luke or Matthew. Focusing on the relationship between Mark and the other gospels, I shall ask whether it is more likely that Mark adds the word to Matthew and/or Luke on the Two-Gospel Hypothesis, or whether Matthew and/or Luke delete it from Mark on the Two-Document Hypothesis. My study leads me to two conclusions. On grounds of ornatus, editing on either source hypothesis is plausible. But such editing on the Two-Document Hypothesis is more plausible, since Mark's addition of each word would entail the unlikely discovery of near-perfect or coincidentally co-ordinated literary patterns in Matthew and/or Luke.

Abstract:
This article examines early Protestant discussion of the historic puzzle in New Testament study known as the Synoptic Problem, which deals with the potential literary relationship between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The subject was addressed by John Calvin, pioneer Reformer, and by the early Lutheran Martin Chemnitz. Calvin made a puissant contribution by constructing the first three-column Gospel harmony. Chemnitz contributed nascent redaction-critical assessments of Matthew's use of Mark. Thus, far from simply being a concern to post-Enlightenment critics (as is often assumed), interest in the Gospel sources was present from the earliest days of the Reformation.

Botello, Jennell. "Composition date of the synoptic gospels." FIU Digital Commons, 2007. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/1775.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this research paper is to follow a line of ongoing investigations that discuss dates for the origin of the synoptic gospels and evaluate the arguments for early, late, and intermediate dating and their susceptibility to critique from opposing arguments. There are three principal components in dating theories: (1) data from the Greek in the earliest texts (2) data concerning the provenance of the earliest texts (3) and data from the historical context of the first century. The study is significant because, contrary to what might be expected, the starting and key point in deciding on a composition date is the Book of Acts of the Apostles. This study compiled and integrated information, in an unbiased fashion, based on reading and researching large numbers of texts by scholars, such as Hengel, who support an earlier dating, as well as those, such as Fitzmyer, who support a later dating. Furthermore, this study also required knowledge of those scholars who propose dates that do not fall into these main categories. The research demonstrated that by looking at the Book of Acts of the Apostles as the key starting point, the synoptic gospels were most likely composed before 70 CE, therefore, supporting scholars who argue for an earlier date.

Papaioannou, Kim Gary. "Places of punishment in the Synoptic Gospels." Thesis, Durham University, 2004. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/3095/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines places of punishment in the Synoptic traditions. Four are identified and discussed: Geherma, Hades, the Abyss and the place (εkεi) where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. In addition, an excursus on Tartarus is included as Tartarus relates closely to the Abyss. The Gehenna language derives primarily from oracles of judgement in Jeremiah 7:29-34, 19:1-15 and Isaiah 66:24. In the Synoptics it refers consistently to the punishment of the final judgment. It is a fiery place of destruction reserved for the wicked, who will be thrown there and consumed in bodily form. By contrast, Hades is not a place of punishment but a reference to death. It receives all people, righteous and wicked alike and they remain there until the final judgement. The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31 appears to depart from this line as it depicts fiery torments in Hades. However, a closer look at its language and structure and a comparison with similar near-contemporary tales, suggest it functions to reject what it appears to endorse. The Abyss is the place where fallen angels exist in anticipation of the final judgement. In contrast to Hades and Gehenna, there appears to be movement in and out of the Abyss. In the Abyss the power of fallen angels over humanity is severely restricted; when they come out, they cause much suffering. Tartarus is also a prison for fallen angels. The language of the outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth occurs primarily in parables, often in the context of a banquet. The banquet represents the kingdom of God. The phrase depicts punishment primarily as exclusion from the banquet/kingdom. Weeping and gnashing of teeth denote the sorrow and anger respectively of those excluded.

Abstract:
Since the eighteenth century, various hypotheses have been proposed by scholars in an attempt to solve the Synoptic Question. Most of these scholars have used more or less the same Greek text, yet they have come up with different conclusions. So, the question arises whether it is possible to find a trend in the manuscripts dating up to the fifth century which sheds additional clues on the relationships among the Synoptic Gospels. To address this, I have taken the text of the 27th edition of Nestle-Aland as the basis for analysis through the use of the colour-coded scheme proposed by the Karawara Gospels Project. However, in the same colour-coding exercise, the variant readings from the relevant manuscripts are also displayed. This facilitates the identification of any particularities. Since the Synoptic Gospels contain too much to cover within the constraints of this research project, there is a need to select enough material to make the study relevant. The passion narrative has been selected on the basis of its content and the generally agreed closeness of the texts in all three Synoptic Gospels. So, all the sections, as defined in the Aland Synopsis, in the Triple Tradition are colour-coded and analysed. The relevant variant readings in these sections are also taken into consideration. To display the colour-coding more accurately, it was found that a commonly used and available format is more appropriate since printing is still not a viable alternative. Thus, all the colour-coded sections, as found on the attached CD ROM, are converted into the PDF format and the Adobe Acrobat Reader, widely available through the Internet, can be used to view them. This study has pointed out that in spite of the commonly agreed closeness of the texts, that of Luke varies quite markedly from the other two.

Abstract:
Data base of parallel word-for-word comparison: A data-base (MAIN-DB) has been built up which enables data from each Gospel to be partitioned into unique units to contain the same information (*) present in one, two or three Gospels. The current structure of chapter and verse is shown to be irrelevant and an obstacle to analysis. Data base of detailed Huck-number event analysis: A data-base (Summary) has been built up to enable the main Episodes in the Gospels to be partitioned into Events and Units which contain the same information (*). The criterion is that the words in a given unit either match exactly with a group of words in one or two of the other Gospels or the content of the words in the unit are the same or similar. This database is being developed as a statistical Apparatus to evaluate Co-Structural and Detailed studies of each Episode and the associated Events and Units. This is achieved by the use of word counts. Analysis of detailed structure using words as criterion: Analysis of the data enables the units to be analysed into all possible combinations. The analysis shows that the above categories must be further divided into the above categories where each gospel can be either the origin of data or the result of gospel data from another Gospel. The co-structural analysis of the Gospels is then given based on word counts and general conclusions are reached. The detailed analysis of correlation between the Gospels is then given for selected events. The resultant databases would be of general use to scholars of both science and literature. Information: The measurement of information is considered as changing text to numbers. This would then enable data to be translated from text - which is data in a number base other than base 10 - and to translate it to a suitable number base for use on current computers.

Abstract:
The preface to Luke's gospel (Lk. ill-4), when properly exegeted, says this: "(1) Since many have undertaken to draw up a narrative account of the things that are well-established among us, (2) just as those who from the beginning have been eyewitnesses and servants of the word have handed them down to us, (3) I have decided, for my part, having been a follower of them all for a long time, to write an accurate narrative for you, most excellent Theophilus, (4) in order that you may know what is certain with regard to the matters in which you have been instructed." Luke's claim to have been a follower of the apostles (vs. 3), and thus conversant with their oral gospel tradition (vs. 2), is confirmed by an ecclesiastical tradition that can be traced back to one of those very apostles. Luke implies that he did not use written sources in the composition of his gospel, for unlike ancient historians who did use written sources, he does not acknowledge any use of his predecessors' narratives. In writing "an accurate narrative" he would not have relied upon what he considered to be the inaccurate narratives of his predecessors. Luke indicates that his gospel records the oral tradition that he has learned directly from the apostles. The leading theories of synoptic origins tend to collapse into an oral theory under the weight of Luke's literary independence. The arguments hitherto advanced against the oral theory are inadequate. The oral tradition consisted of a basic narrative tradition (which is reconstructed) and a body of independent tradition. Luke and Matthew drew upon both traditions, but Mark confined himself to the former. Our two-tradition theory is corroborated, especially in comparison with the standard two-source theory, by various literary and stylistic phenomena.
