I recently paid £21 for this article - of just 6 pages. I had thought I was getting the three articles for this price. The other two articles being by Jason Beduhn and Judith Lieu.

Marcion’s Gospel and the New Testament:
Catalyst or Consequence?

MATTHIAS KLINGHARDT


If the Marcionite Gospel is seen as an alteration of Luke, it has almost no relevance for the New Testament; this was the view of Harnack, who never examined
the fundamental question of the direction of the editorial process. Assuming the
priority of the Marcionite Gospel, however, reveals its innovative potential for
understanding the New Testament: on the one hand, it provides answers to
many old questions, some of them seemingly resolved a long time ago, others
fiercely debated for many decades. On the other hand, the priority of the
Marcionite Gospel promotes the most noble and important task of scholarship:
it poses a whole new set of questions that did not exist before.

''......the priority of the Marcionite Gospel promotes the most noble and important task of scholarship: it poses a whole new set of questions that did not exist before.''

Where does it go - i.e priority of the Marcionite Gospel - methinks that's the task before scholarship. As for me - well, I'll tag along with Klinghardt for a while to see how far he is willing to go.....
