Sources of the Synoptic Gospels

** "Sources of the Synoptic Gospels" by Carl S. Patton is an early 20th-century academic work that explores the Synoptic Problem, which is the challenge of understanding how the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are related. The author looks at how the Gospels may depend on each other. The book also talks about a theoretical source called Q. Patton wants to give a full picture of what experts think and add his own ideas about how these Gospels were put together. He explains how Matthew and Luke used Mark as a source, resulting in the narratives and ideas of the Gospels through tangled connections. He also mentions how hard it is give credit for different ideas. **
