Summary:

Q is a hypothetical entity, part of the standard solution to the Synoptic Problem-the study of the inter-relationship of Matthew, Mark and Luke. This solution supposes that Matthew and Luke made independent use not only of Mark but also of another source- now lost-called 'Q'. Belief in its existence is commonplace, but there have always been doubters. Mark Goodacre is one of them.

In The Case Against Q, Goodacre presents a careful, balanced, and detailed critique of the Q hypothesis, examining the most important arguments of Q's proponents. He offers new arguments and fresh reflections reaffirming Markan Priority as the key to successful Synoptic scholarship. It is a more plausible picture of Synoptic relationships than has ever been available.
