The similarities and difference of arrangement and order of episodes in the gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke have always been one of the major critera for resolving the Synoptic Problem. How important, and how reliable are arguments based on such considerations, and where might they lead? Here Neville reviews these issues in detail, explaining the significance of his conclusions for understanding the literary relationships among the three Synoptics gospels, and particularly for the competing theories of Markan priority (the standard two-source hypothesis) and Markan posteriority (the Griesbach hypothesis).
"The major contribution of Neville's techincal work is his demonstration that ideology and assumptions about prioriy influence the discussion of the significance of order for the Synoptic Problem at the most material level, the production of synopses." -Richard Walsh, Methodist College
"Neville treats the nuances of his topic deftly, maintaining a valuable balance between accessibility...and probity." -Suzanne Watts Henderson, Review of Biblical Literature * Blurb from reviewer *
