'a splendid research tool, presenting fuller insights into what considering multiple gospel manuscripts synoptically might reveal.[...] Read-Heimerdinger and Rius-Camps have not only produced a key reference work, they have highlighted what might be possible in the deacdes to come.' Paul Foster, University of Edinburgh, The Expository Times 128 (5) February 2017 The present synopsis is a welcome and most valuable addition to the tools necessary for synoptic studies in general and manuscript studies in particular. For the study of the Synoptic Gospels in Bezae and Vaticanus specifically, the synopsis provides an almost indispensable point of departure. The ease with which parallel passages in these two manuscripts can be compared-either within a single manuscript or across both-can hardly be surpassed, even with digital tools.' Ronald H. van der Bergh, University of Pretoria, RBL 10 2016 By offering a text that was used by an early Church community, A Gospel Synopsis attentively addresses the ongoing methodological discussions surrounding the preeminence of reconstructed eclectic texts of the Greek New Testament. The layout and clarity of the work is exceptional; and along with its careful transcriptions [of these seminal ancient manuscripts], this volume will become an invaluable tool for New Testament studies. Kent D. Clarke, Trinity Western University, Canada The completeness and accuracy of this Gospel Synopsis is to be applauded. At one and the same time, it intensifies the complexity of the 'synoptic problem' while also greatly facilitating the investigation of it. It serves both synoptic and text-critical studies very well. Armand Puig i Tarrech, Facultad de Teologia de Catalunya (Barcelona) We recommend this book for a fresh display of the Greek synoptic gospels, for giving readers an opportunity to examine the distinctiveness of these two early codices and for its open invitation to revisit some attempted solutions to the synoptic problem that were based on other and differing synopsis texts. J.K. Elliott, Novum Testamentum 57 (2015)
