Very interesting videos by Alan Garrow. I am very interested in seeing where this leads.

Arrrrgggggg......

I'm not a member of Bart's blog so I can't access the response of Mark Goodacre to Alan Garrow’s argument on Matthew using Luke and the Didache.

I am friends with Goodacre on Facebook. He's going to post it on his blog shortly.

Isn't this almost exactly what Klinghardt argues except he uses the Gospel of the Lord as the source for Matthew instead of Luke?

Cool. :)

If you would, could you post a link to it when it is available? Also do you know if there is a written version of Alan Garrow’s argument that we can access?

Thanks

I was convinced by your argument (except for your retention of a rump of the Q hypothesis) some time ago. Why don't I get $1000?

Because your endorsement is priceless (and I'm not setting the rules!)

There's something "off" about being given a $1000 to post something yet still keeping what you post behind a paywall. Ehrman is so not into open or public access of information. Something .... what's the word, .... some might say "American"(?) about it?

(Yes, I know, the $ goes to a charity of his choice, as if no-one else would think of giving to a charity if it weren't for their desire to know what he thinks. Something very "off" about his MO.)
