Robert K. MacEwen is a Lecturer of Biblical Studies and Director of the Chinese Theology Department at the East Asia School of Theology, Singapore. He received his PhD in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary, USA.
This revised version of a doctoral dissertation, supervised by D.
Bock and accepted by Dallas Theological Seminary in 2010, assembles
some of the strongest arguments both for and against the Matthean
posteriority hypothesis in order to evaluate it as a solution to
the Synoptic problem.
*New Testament Abstracts*
Robert MacEwen has written what is to date the most cogent
book-length defence of the solution to the synoptic problem [the
Matthean Posteriority Hypothesis] ... An admirable study.
*The Expository Times*
MacEwen deserves great praise for his thorough analysis and
evaluation of the MPH in comparison to three other synoptic
hypotheses ... not simply in abstract and merely subjective terms,
but usually against the background of the evangelists’ redactional
habits known from other parts of their works.
*The Biblical Annals*
The Matthean Posteriority theory of Synoptic relationships is a
hypothesis whose time has come. Robert MacEwen makes a moderate and
judicious case, weighing its merits and its weaknesses against its
rivals. Astonishingly, this has never been done before. All Gospels
scholars must now take this hypothesis as seriously as its
rivals.
*Richard Bauckham, Professor Emeritus at the University of St
Andrews, UK*
