Description: "The expert contributors to this volume addresses the Synoptic Problem and how it emerged in a context closely connected with challenges to the historical reliability of the gospels, questions about the ability of scholarship to arrive at a compelling reconstruction of the historical Jesus, the limits of the canon, and questions of the relationship between the historical reliability of gospel material and ecclesial dogma. The contributors probe various sites and issues in the 19th and 20th century to elaborate how scholarship on the synoptics was seen to complement, undergird, or complicate theological views"--
