In picking up the gauntlet from James McGrath about Matthew’s use of Luke, Mark Goodacre rounds off his serious argument with a fun one.
Order: Why would Matthew break up Luke’s superb ordering of the sayings, which are in highly appropriate contexts in Luke, tearing every little piece out of its context, only to lump them together in a wooden fashion in huge, unwieldy discourses? Such a theory would only tenable if we had reason to think that Matthew was a crank.
Delightful.
