Gospel Writing - A Canonical Perspective (Paperback, New)

That there are four canonical versions of the one gospel story is
often seen as a problem for Christian faith: where gospels
multiply, so too do apparent contradictions that may seem to
undermine their truth claims. In Gospel Writing Francis Watson
argues that differences and tensions between canonical gospels
represent opportunities for theological reflection, not problems
for apologetics. Watson presents the formation of the fourfold
gospel as the defining moment in the reception of early gospel
literature -- and also of Jesus himself as the subject matter of
that literature. As the canonical division sets four gospel texts
alongside one another, the canon also creates a new, complex,
textual entity more than the sum of its parts. A canonical gospel
can no longer be regarded as a definitive, self-sufficient account
of its subject matter. It must play its part within an intricate
fourfold polyphony, and its meaning and significance are thereby
transformed. In elaborating these claims, Watson proposes nothing
less than a new paradigm for gospel studies -- one that engages
fully with the available noncanonical material so as to illuminate
the historical and theological significance of the canonical.
