In this episode, we challenge one of the foundational assumptions of New Testament scholarship: Which Gospel was truly written first? While mainstream academics often point to Mark, our guest makes a compelling, evidence-based case for Matthew as the original Gospel. We Dive into the complexities of the Synoptic problem and discover why the sequence of the Gospels holds real significance—even for those who believe in divine inspiration. We navigate the landscape of competing Synoptic theories, dissect the arguments for Markan priority, and bring to light both external and internal evidence supporting Matthean priority.David Pallmann’s Channel: https://youtube.com/@faithbecauseofreason8381?si=9QDerFeB5dF6QkltTIMESTAMPS:00:00:08 - Greetings00:06:42 - Introduction00:09:08 - What is the Synoptic Problem?00:12:11 - Why Does the Gospel Order Matter? 00:13:26 - Early Church Father Quotations00:22:17 - Overview of the Major Synoptic Theories00:32:37 - The case for Markan priority 01:12:46 - The Case for Matthean Priority 02:05:24 - Summary 02:10:30 - Book Recommendations02:12:54 - The Tide of Biblical StudiesRECOMMENDED BOOKS:Why Four Gospels? - David Allen Blackhttps://www.amazon.com/Four-Gospels-David-Alan-Black/dp/1893729877The Synoptic Problem: Four Views - Stanley Porter and Bryan Dyer (editors)https://www.amazon.com/Synoptic-Problem-Four-Views-ebook/dp/B01HC1251QThe Progressive Publication of Matthew - B.
