This book offers a new explanation of the develpoment of the first three Gospels based on a careful exmination of both patristic testimony to the "Hebrew Gospel" and internal evidence in the canonical Gospels themselves. James Edwards breaks new ground and challenges assumptions that have long been held in the New Testament guild but actually lack solid evidence. Book jacket.
