More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
A lively, readable and up-to-date guide to the Synoptic Problem, ideal for undergraduate students. Arguably the greatest literary enigma in history, the Synoptic Problem has fascinated generations of scholars who have puzzled over the agreements, the disagreements, the variations, and the peculiarities of the relationship between the first three of our canonical Gospels. Yet the Synoptic Problem remains inaccessible to students, soon tangled up in its apparent complexities. But now the author offers a way through the maze, with the promise of emergence at the end, explaining in a lively and refreshing style what study of the Synoptic Problem involves, why it is important and how it might be solved. This is a readable, balance and up-to-date guide, ideal for undergraduate students and the general reader.

Glorious!, 7 Mar 2010
By C. J. M. F. "newly hooked" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Synoptic Problem: A Way Through The Maze (Understanding the Bible and Its World) (Paperback)
Take a dry subject and make it enchanting! Mark Goodacre has a talent that ought to be enjoyed by a wider audience. (Check out his podcasts and blog.) I enjoyed his arguments and find myself almost agreeing when I got the book specifically because I was diametrically opposed to his view!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Accessible but doubtful, 24 Jan 2006
By So Lai Wah "Arkanis" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Synoptic Problem: A Way Through The Maze (Understanding the Bible and Its World) (Paperback)
This book was admittedly expensive for its small size. However, the author provides a good introduction to the Synoptic Problem, allowing a person who is not familiar with the related scholarship to have a good grasp of the topic.
However, the content and arguments are biased towards one particular theory. As a student of philosophy, I personally find some of the reasoning of the author in favor of his position to be highly suspectible and weak.
Nevertheless, I benefited from reading this book, though I am sure there are better and more strongly argued scholarship on this topic
