Goodacre, of course, will argue for the Farrer theory (the synoptic gospels were written in the order Mark-Matthew-Luke), while MacEwen will argue for the Wilke Hypothesis (AKA the Matthean posteriority hypothesis, that the synoptics were written in the order Mark-Luke-Matthew).

Both scholars accept the theory of Markan priority. I suspect there won't be a much discussion of Marcion (unless Berman sees questions on Marcion in the live chat and asks them about it).

The event will need to be rescheduled. No word yet on when that will be.

Is Matthew or Luke Second?

The Farrer vs Matthean Posteriority Hypothesis

Dr. Mark Goodacre vs Dr. Robert MacEwen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE5UOisT8AY

is scheduled for 9 AM December 7, 2022 (i.e., tomorrow morning at the time I'm writing this). Unfortunately, I don't know if that's U.S. Eastern or Central Time, but it's probably not vital to watch if live unless you'e intending to post a question in the chat.

Best,

Ken
