Session 9 - Dr. Craig Blomberg | Historical Reliability of the Gospels
What is the Synoptic Problem?
Why is there so much verbal overlap among Matthew, Mark, and Luke?
And what do Markan priority, Q, M, and L try to explain?
In this session, Dr. Craig Blomberg introduces the composition of the Synoptic Gospels and the major proposals used to explain their relationship. He walks through the evidence for literary dependence, the case for Markan priority, and the debated role of sources like Q, M, and L.
