Abstract
Abstract Assumptions about orality and writing that Synoptic Problem critics bring to their analysis profoundly affect their proposed solutions. The default premise has been a pronounced media dualism: conceiving orality and writing as mutually exclusive modes of transmission. This is evident right from the beginning in the source theories advanced by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Gottfried Eichhorn, Johann Carl Ludwig Gieseler, and Christian Gottlob Wilke. The same media dualism underlies much contemporary work on the Synoptic Problem. Placing orality and writing in a close interfacial relationship overcomes this media binary and has the potential to break through the impasses in the Synoptic Problem.
