The new (old) perspective on John and the Synoptics: a review article

A review article of two important recent books, which, while aligned, represent distinct and creative approaches to answering the age-old questions of both the relationship between John’s Gospel and the Synoptic Gospels, and also the way in which early gospel texts were written. Each contributes to a recognizable shift in twenty-first-century scholarship towards the view that John’s Gospel should not be considered as independent from other Gospels but as a development or transformation of them.
