The Gospels as Historical Documents

First published in 1930 as the second edition of a 1909 original, this second volume in a three-part series examines the Synoptic problem. Stanton explores the ways in which the acts and sayings of Jesus were compiled and transmitted to the Greek-speaking Church and how these early accounts affected the writing of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Church history or in the transmission of biblical texts.
