But the problem is this. Mack (as Doherty?) thinks mark was the first one to piece it all together. What if we accept Matthean priority. Is it just as plausible for Matthew to have been the one to piece it all together? What evidence can be cited for Mark to hhave begun this process and can that same evidence be applied to Matthew? And if the same evidence can be applied to any source in such a way I would be inherantly skeptical of it. Vinine |

Look, the Gospels were written late. Thats whats important so whichever one is given priority, it doesnt really matter.
Pauline epistles, GJn, the writings of the apostilic fathers (didache, shepherd of hermas, 1 Clement etc) and a host of other early christian writings support his thesis of christ Logos. In fact, his argument is contra the HJ - which is what the gospels present to us. Changing the sequence of their order means nothing one way or the other to his thesis. To challenge Doherty's thesis, one needs examine what he uses to support his case. |
