Professor of Religious Studies, Duke University. Host of the NT Pod. I post on New Testament, Christian origins, ABBA, and Doctor Who.
Love it!
I just had the pleasure of reviewing @goodacre.bsky.social's The Fourth Synoptic Gospel (@eerdmansbooks.bsky.social). Review out in a few months, but I thought I would post my last paragraph to encourage you to buy and read it.

It was such an honor to be there for Bart Ehrman's last lecture tonight at UNC Chapel Hill. He spoke on "The Most Significant Discovery in the History of Biblical Studies" to an absolutely packed auditorium, to a standing ovation.

On Sunday, I debated with Bart Ehrman, "Did John Know the Other Gospels?" It ended up being a bit more spicy than the "fireside chat" we had anticipated. The first half of the debate is now on Youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=REXn...

Thanks, Matt!
John knew the Synoptic Gospels.
It's that simple.
As always, @goodacre.bsky.social makes it crystal clear.
Buy it.
Read it.
