COMPETITORS OF TWO-SOURCE HYPOTHESIS IN MODERN TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF NEW TESTAMENT

Abstract

The author discusses the various hypotheses suggested for the solution to the synoptic problem. For a long time the dominant solution to this problem was a two-source hypothesis. Today, many researchers believe that a two-source hypothesis should be rejected, and suggest various alternative hypotheses. Farrer hypothesis asserts the priority of Mark. Augustinian hypothesis and two-gospel hypothesis assert the priority of Matthew. Jerusalem school hypothesis asserts the priority of Luke. The author mentions that as for the synoptic problem there is no consensus.
