Abstract

Beyond the Q Impasse : Luke's Use of Matthew attempts to explain the composition of the Gospel of Luke on the assumption of the Griesbach hypothesis. This review article analyses the book's scope, strategy and methodology and focuses on arguments from order and language. It concludes that in spite of strengths like clarity of presentation and a stress on Luke's literary ability, Beyond the Q Impasse suffers from lack of engagement with the secondary literature, circularity and a flawed linguistic argument. While the book is an important contribution to studies of the Synoptic Problem, it is unlikely to convince scholars that Luke used Matthew alone.
