Description
One of the key questions that motivates scholars in New Testament studies is the Synoptic Problem-the relationship between Matthew, Mark, and Luke as they tell roughly the same story about the life and work of Jesus. For years, scholars have argued that the Gospel of Mark was the first Gospel produced, and that Matthew and Luke borrowed their materials from Mark, and a few additional sources. In Beyond the Impasse of Markan Priority, a follow-up to their Beyond the Q Impasse, David Peabody and his co-authors offer a dissenting voice, and demonstrate why they believe the Gospel of Mark is dependent on Matthew and Luke. While this argument is not a new one, this book provides the first detailed textual analysis to make the point definitively. Pericope by pericope, the authors examine and retell the story or teachings contained therein to highlight the dependence of Markan features on those of Matthew or Luke or both. This retelling is followed by observations that highlight structural, compositional, and thematic features of the pericope. The analysis concludes with a focus on literary details such as Markan additions to the texts of Matthew and Luke, Markan changes to the texts of Matthew and Luke, and evidence of fragmentary preservation of Matthew and Luke in the Markan text.

Reviews
One Gospel From Two presents our most detailed explanation of the evidence that Mark was conflated from Mathew and Luke. -The Catholic Biblical Quarterly, 6/04--Harry T. Fleddermann "Catholic Biblical Quarterly "
While many may disagree with the working hypothesis of the Research Team, this book provides for the first time a detailed exploration and analysis of Mark's conflation of Matthew and Luke on the Two-Gospel Hypothesis. As such, it is a substantial and noteworthy contribution to the on-going discussion of the Synoptic Problem. Robert A. Derrenbacker, Jr. Associate Dean and Professor of New Testament, Tyndale Seminary Managing Editor, International Q Project--Robert A.Derrenbacker Robert A. Derrenbacker, Jr.
"One can only admire Peabody, Cope, and McNicol for their courage in swimming against more than one hundred and twenty years of widespread consensus in synoptic studies. Indeed this study should be required reading for modern synoptic scholars if only to give depth to their scholarly integrity." Sean P. Kealy C.S.Sp., author of Mark's Gospel: A History of Interpretation--Sanford Lakoff
"Even since William Farmer revived the Griesbach hypothesis of the interrelationship of the Synoptic Gospels, one important question has remained unanswered. If Mark was the third Gospel to be written, utilizing Matthew and Luke, how is one to explain in detail the compositional and redactional processes that resulted in a Gospel like this? In One Gospel From Two, the authors make a major contribution to the study of the Synoptic Problem by patiently expounding Mark's Gospel, pericope by pericope, as the product of a careful conflation of Matthew and Luke. Whether or not they are successful in overturning the consensus view of Markan Priority, the authors have provided an important service to New Testament scholarship in laying out their case with such clarity and care." Mark Goodacre, Senior Lecturer in New Testament, Dept of Theology, University of Birmingham, U.K.--Sanford Lakoff
