Bible Question: What is the best resource / commentary to establish the time order of the four gosples? |
Bible Answer: Hi The question of the chronological sequence of the Gospels is a much debated one, moreso now than it was fifty years ago when it was felt that it was almost settled. The large majority, apart mainly from Roman Catholic writers, view Mark as the first Gospel to be written. Some would argue that it was Matthew. The question that is most often asked is whether Matthew and Luke used Mark's Gospel or a draft of it in writing their own Gospels. A good and detailed treatment by an evangelical is Dr Donald Guthrie's New Testament Introduction. It is an expansion of his lecture notes when he used to lecture at London Bible College (now the London School of Theology) Best wishes Jonp |
