Synoptic Problem: A Way Through the Maze

Take a dry subject and make it enchanting! Mark Goodacre has a talent that ought to be enjoyed by a wider audience. (Check out his podcasts and blog.) I enjoyed his arguments and find myself almost agreeing when I got the book specifically because I was diametrically opposed to his view!

This book was admittedly expensive for its small size. However, the author provides a good introduction to the Synoptic Problem, allowing a person who is not familiar with the related scholarship to have a good grasp of the topic. However, the content and arguments are biased towards one particular theory. As a student of philosophy, I personally find some of the reasoning of the author in favor of his position to be highly suspectible and weak. Nevertheless, I benefited from reading this book, though I am sure there are better and more strongly argued scholarship on this topic
