Thanks for the link, MrMacSon.

Re: Couchoud's 'Is Marcion's Gospel One of the Synoptics?'
I haven't had a chance to read it carefully yet, but the following stood out as being somewhat illogical:
It seems odd that the relationship of gMarcion to gLuke is collectively a uni-directional addition/subtraction, depending upon your perspective of the direction of the dependency. It would seem logical that if one document is a doctinally-inspired reimagining of the other, then it would take both additions and subtractions to complete the transition. It is odd that either party believed they could satisfy their doctrinal purposed by only adding to, or by only removing, what the previous author had produced.This has in itself a certain striking significance. When
an author wishes to re-model a text so as to conform to a
given doctrine it is not often that he can accomplish his task
with nothing but a pair of scissors to help him.

I thought I would read this Couchoud article before working my way through the Klinghardt one, but I just hate his style. In the examples I have so far looked at, at no time has he considered that the Lucan version agrees with Mark or Matthew against Marcion. I think it is a good idea to read it with your Gospel Parallels by your side so you can compare the Lucan text with Mark and Matthew.

Excellent methodological advice.
