2011 Forum Sessions
Luncheon Workshops
Date and Authorship of the Synoptic Gospels: Focus on Mark and Luke
This session will cover arguments for Mark's gospel being associated with Peter's preaching and the author of Luke being associated with Paul. It will explain why many think “Q” exists. This will not be an overly technical presentation but deal with issues that pastors often run into when TV specials are aired about the gospels. The lecture will explore issues tied to Matthean authorship, and the Papias citations about Matthew and Mark will receive some attention, too. The speaker will argue that the links to apostolic roots is the most important issue. In addition, though the speaker will contend that the Synoptics were written before AD 70, he will suggest that even if Matthew and Luke were composed a decade or so later it would not matter because of the way these "apostolic memoirs" (Justin Martyr's name for the gospels) work.
