Description: For the first time, the Gospel material unique to both
Matthew and Luke is brought together into one volume--in both Greek
and English. For more than a century, New Testament scholars have
asserted that Matthew and Luke drew on sources in addition to Q and
Mark during the composition of their Gospels. For convenience, the
non-paralleled material in Matthew has traditionally been labeled
M, and the non-paralleled material in Luke has traditionally been
labeled L. We learn only from Matthew, for example, particular
stories like Joseph and Mary's escape to Egypt and the Great
Commission; from Luke stories like the Prodigal Son and Jesus'
appearance on the Emmaus road. Studying the material unique to each
Gospel in isolation from their narrative contexts will allow
students and scholars alike to engage these stories on their own.
In this book, the individual special pericopae from Matthew and
Luke are collected and arranged in Greek and English in the order
in which they appear in the Greek New Testament. An introductory
essay is provided to introduce readers to the Synoptic Problem, the
notions of M and L and where they come from, what the parameters
are for selection, and the critical debate, so that readers know
how the selections were made and what is being asserted by their
inclusion. This book will be a wonderful teaching tool for seminary
and university professors, and will facilitate student engagement
with distinctive Matthean and Lukan stories. It will also be a
valuable resource for New Testament scholars doing research on this
special material, since having it all in one place will no longer
require them to search for the distinctive passages among the
larger Gospel narratives. Endorsements: Matthean and Lukan Special
Material provides students and scholars with a concise introduction
to the Synoptic Problem, a convenient presentation of the texts (in
Greek and in English translation) that may represent the so-called
M and L sources, and a succinct and helpful bibliography. Brice
Jones has greatly facilitated study of this material, for which all
who investigate the Synoptic Gospels will be grateful. --Craig A.
Evans Payzant Distinguished Professor of New Testament Acadia
Divinity College Wolfville, Nova Scotia Here students and scholars
will find a concise and convenient presentation of the material
unique to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke--the so-called Sondergut
traditions. Thus Jones enables readers to reconsider traditions
that might have belonged to the M and L sources . . . This is a
critical scholarly tool, presenting Greek texts with facing English
translations in a highly accessible format. --Paul Foster Senior
Lecturer in New Testament Languages, Literature & Theology
University of Edinburgh Brice Jones has compiled a highly useful
tool--one of those tools that we all wish that we had had a long
time ago Surprisingly enough, no one had bothered since B. H.
Streeter first proposed the existence of unique Matthean and Lukan
material to compile it] in one handy volume. Jones has not only
done that, but he has provided a very helpful introduction to the
Synoptic Problem and the role that M and L play within it.
--Stanley E. Porter President and Dean McMaster Divinity College
Hamilton, Ontario I warmly welcome this useful and unique tool from
Brice Jones: here students and scholars will be able to access
conveniently the Greek and English texts of the distinctive
material in Matthew and Luke. Study of these texts will be much
easier with this book. Combined with an excellent, lucid
introduction to the study of the Synoptic Problem, this is a fine
resource. I look forward to using it and to recommending it to
others. --Steve Walton Professor of New Testament London School of
