Q is in this precarious position where the earlier the Gospels were written, the less plausible it is that Q could be written and distributed so broadly that Matthew and Luke's authors both had access to it but Mark's author didn't; yet the later the Gospels were written, the harder it is to explain why Q is never preserved or mentioned, unlike Mark, particularly if its contents were sufficiently orthodox. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that Mark, though not as popular, is nevertheless present throughout manuscript finds, yet not so much as a scrap of Q is anywhere. That's quite a disappearing act for something they would've really wanted to use against Marcion.

I could listen to Dr. Goodacre talk about the bible all day. What an engaging guy. Obviously very passionate about his work.

What a fantastic interview. I (almost) hate that so many videos I watch for neat answers invariably result in my reading list expanding...

What an amazing conversation. I'd heard of Dr Goodacre, but I haven't had the time to read any of his work, despite hearing about the non-Q theories about the synoptic problem.

I enjoy this type of dialogue - sometimes shifts in emphasis between themes across the dominant narratives create openings -- make things new. Thank you.

The more one learns and the deeper you dive. The more questions you seek answers to the more questions you develop. The more you discover the more questions you will have. It is endless but deeply giving. You never stop saying "wow". The more you learn the more gaps of knowledge you desire to fill. Oh! The joy!
