Praise for John's Use of Matthew In this fresh and fascinating analysis, James W. Barker calls us out of intellectual lassitude regarding the Fourth Gospel's possible dependence upon Matthew. In the process, he reminds us that even--and maybe especially--ideas that have reached near 'axiomatic' status in New Testament scholarship should be rigorously questioned. He has reinvigorated the conversation and even advanced it by offering constructive insights of his own. Jaime Clark-Soles, Southern Methodist University Among the most pressing of the Johannine riddles is the question of John's relation--actually, relations--to the Synoptics. This work by James W. Barker makes an important advance in understanding the dialectical relations between the Johannine and Matthean traditions. Barker here shows how John's familiarity with Matthew might have involved setting the record straight here and there, as well as reinforcing Matthew's contribution to church organization and leadership. An important contribution to studies of the New Testament and of early Christianity. Paul N. Anderson, George Fox University
