"""The Synoptic Problem conversation has become its own problem. The increasingly complex proposals have prompted some to raise the white flag of surrender. Adam Christian helpfully provides a historical overview but also affirms the fluidity between the oral and written tradition. He argues there has been an overreliance on literary dependence and suggests the oral tradition may be of some help to the progressively convoluted proposals. Certainly, a more nuanced view is emerging, and scholars will need to reckon with new paradigms, including Christian's, in their analysis."" --Patrick Schreiner, associate professor of New Testament and biblical theology, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary ""Adam Christian offers a robust linguistic analysis of Synoptic passages that include quotes from the Old Greek, objectively comparing how the Evangelists handled the Old Greek quotations. He concludes that the Evangelists' consistency with the quoted material and freedom with surrounding material fit what might be expected in a culture that orally shares its traditions. Christian's Synoptic Composition prompts New Testament scholars to consider afresh oral tradition as a grid that explains Synoptic relations."" --Todd R. Chipman, associate professor of biblical studies, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary"
