Nice to see a second review already for Questioning Q, and I think I quite like being described as "the indefatigable Mark Goodacre".
Indefatigable seems to fit - even if I did have to look it up in the dictionary!
ReplyDeleteHope you will continue to be so.
infatigable is flattering because it suggests you're an irritant to the Qers - you just won't go away (and others are joining your gang), and maybe a reminder of your own work on editorial fatigue? But it's another very cross review - of course Q scholars recognise the points made, but they are not very honest about the fragility of the hypothesis. And it is not correct to compare the reconstruction of Jewish-Christian gospels to Q because the existence of the former as documents is attested externally and "Q" isn't. Also he defends Q against Perrin by appealing to a less certain text of Q, but Perrin is addresses the reconstructed Q. And I don't think that Wright's personal views are reflected in the work of the contributors (but I don't think the preface does the book any favours) I think 'Questioning Q' is a very worthwhile and necessary addition to work on the Synoptic Problem and deserves a better review.
