Perhaps I will start with the achievements of biblical studies in solving the synoptic problem. Well, biblical studies analyzed the content dependencies between the gospels and created a number of simple hypotheses for the process of creating the canonical gospels.
Hypotheses such as 2SH and 2GH are most often creations based on the priority of the selected gospel and simple relationships between them and some hypothetical source. Currently, the most popular hypotheses assume the priority of Mark, 2SH, Farer.
Well, all these simple diagrams have some unresolvable problems that make them fail the stress test when analyzing content dependencies. It's good news that something turns out to be false.
Another serious attempt to solve the synoptic problem was to reconstruct Marcion's gospel and prove its priority. Adding another box called *Ev solved the main content problems. However, the linguistic side of the reconstruction was assessed with skepticism. Klinghardt proposed a new evangelical author and this is the most criticized point. There were more boxes and more relationships between them, but it was not enough to convince other biblical scholars.
I don't know anything about it, but I want to draw the right conclusions from the recommendations of biblical scholars. The problem is that the recommendations are contradictory. Therefore, I am looking for points common to all biblical scholars and I look only at those findings where they agree.
Such a point is represented by Goodacre when he states that the only model where the contents M, Mtt, L can be distributed is the multi-source hypothesis. Then all content relationships are explained. The problem with the multiple-source hypothesis is the lack of evidence for the existence of these sources.
The solution to this problem is the joint work of evangelists on the figure of the historical Jesus and the exchange of mutual achievements, as well as the key role of the Publisher, who decides on the shape of the published publication. And this is the proof. No gospel is homogeneous. These are all heterogeneous products - this is indicated by Venn diagrams and content distribution. Klinghardt wanted to prove that *Ev is a homogeneous product of one author, but he probably failed. *Ev is a heterogeneous product.
How it happened.
Let's take Bill Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes comic strips. Published individually in newspapers, they were also published as collections in several books. They were the same newspaper strips, arranged in the same order, only published in a different form. The strips are little pericopes. Most often, they function independently or in small groups - 2-4 strips describing a given event.
Bill worked independently because he somehow managed to come up with outfits to meet publishing deadlines. He worked independently because he made the decision and had the exclusive right to make it.
But this is not always the case. Thorgal - a comic book hero invented by a Polish cartoonist and a Belgian screenwriter, has been developed for over 40 years and so far the authors have included 4 scriptwriters and 5 cartoonists.
So what happened to the gospels? There was a need to create a publication intended for missionaries to provide the same standard content. This was not entrusted to one author, but to a group of people who supported each other in their creation. Why - because it was the publisher's interest that defined it. The publisher is interested in effectiveness and deadlines, not the homogeneity or heterogeneity of a literary work. It has to be efficient because time is money.
They wrote their strips - pericopes which were then sent to editors and from which subsequent editions were created - *Ev, Mark, Matthew, John, Luke. Or vice versa - I don't insist on this order. But I insist on the process.
I know it seems unbelievable to everyone. The problem is that you're asking the wrong people so far.
There are no authors where the work is anonymous, only product managers, publishers and project managers.
I love Bill and I'm glad he made 100 million off Calvin. He could have made 10 times more if he allowed it to be offered in merchandising. He was faithful to his hero whom he brought into existence and whose existence he ended.
