Since it was New Year's Eve, I did what everybody else does on this great holiday. I went to the library (at DTS) and did some research.

I have commented on the book Three Views on the Origins of the Synoptic Gospels
I discussed before my opinions on the independent view of synoptic gospel composition a couple days ago. I have continued my reading in the book (Three Views on the Origins of the Synoptic Gospels) and have moved on to the discussion of the Markan hypothesis, the two-source/four-source hypothesis.

- Next is Rethinking the Synoptic Problem ed. by Black and Beck. This book has defenses for both the two-document hypothesis (Markan priority) as well as the Griesbach hypothesis (Matthean priority).
- Next I'll begin taking notes and applying principles to actual gospel pericopes. Eventually you have to move on from reading people's books to actually checking the data yourself...
