Top Highlights
“The Griesbach hypothesis had been adopted by Strauss, Baur and others in the so-called ‘Tübingen school’, and had been used by them to develop their theories which had resulted in radical scepticism about the historical reliability of the Gospels.” (Page 15)
“the two-document hypothesis with one of its basic sources very similar to Mark” (Page 16)
“Stoldt’s general conclusions are that none of the arguments for Markan priority has any force; moreover, the advocates of the theory were themselves motivated to put forward their views as part of a reaction against the Tübingen school, in particular against D.F. Strauss.” (Page 18)
“The real enemy was the Tübingen school and only incidentally the Griesbach hypothesis, which Baur had accepted” (Page 15)
“the Griesbach hypothesis lost ‘popular’ support with the collapse of the Tübingen school.” (Page 15)
