In this video, I interviewed Professor Dennis MacDonald on the Homeric imitations in the Gospels, Marks usage of the Q document (the Logoi) and the Q+/Papias hypothesis as the solution to the synoptic problem. Dennis also discusses why he believes the Logoi, Josephus and Paul are independent sources for the historical Jesus and the New Testament borrowing from Greek poetry is because the authors of the Gospels are trying to make Jesus look superior to that of the Greek heroes.
Dennis R. MacDonald received his PhD from Harvard University in 1978 and has taught New Testament and Christian origins at Goshen College, the Iliff School of Theology, and the Claremont School of Theology. From 1999-2010 he served as the director of The Institute for Antiquity and Christianity at Claremont Graduate University. For the academic year of 1985-1986 he was a Visiting Scholar at Harvard Divinity School, and for the spring term in 1991 he was a Visiting Scholar at Union Theological Seminary (NYC). Twice he was awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities. In 1984-1985 he was President of the Rocky Mountain/Great Plains Region of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature, and in 2005-2006 he was President of Pacific Region of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature. He also has served on editorial boards, chaired program units for various professional societies, and appeared as an authority on A&E, PBS, and the History Channel.
Some of the questions that are asked during the video:
What is the the Q+/Papias Hypothesis?
Why do you think Papias can be used to solve the synoptic problem?
Why do you think Mark used the Q document?
How many of the sayings in Q do you think Jesus said?
What led you to the conclusion that the Q document was structured upon the book of Deuteronomy?
What led you to the conclusion that the other Gospel of Matthew that Papias mentioned is the Logoi?
How many of these sources that we have for Jesus do you consider to be independent sources?
