Ward Powers draws attention to the evidence pointing to Matthew's Gospel having been published progressively, with identifiable sections of his material then being seen and utilized by Luke. After both of these Gospels had been published in their current form, they together with the preaching of the Apostle Peter were the three sources used by Mark in producing a special-purpose Gospel for preachers and evangelists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Progressive Publication of Matthew\u003c\/i\u003e fleshes out this proposal, measuring it in detail against other hypotheses. This book also sets out a clarification of the reason and purpose of Mark's Gospel, and a comprehensive explanation of pericope order in all three Synoptics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEndorsement\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Progressive Publication of Matthew\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour de force both in its scope and depth.
