The Two-Source Hypothesis Is Trash | Gabriel Blanchard - Patheos

I’ve been thinking for a while about the authorship of the Gospels. The more I think about it, the more it seems like the two-source hypothesis (the current scholarly near-consensus on the topic) is dumb and bad, and that the Augustinian hypothesis (the view that prevailed among the Church Fathers, and which St. Augustine expounded in The Harmony of the Gospels1) is smart and good. I’m therefore going to court scholarly ire by arguing for the Augustinian hypothesis and against the two-source. After all—and people don’t always pause to think about this, but it’s true—making people angry is a kind of having attention.
