Introduction to the Synoptic Gospels by Richard P. Thompson offers a lucid, seminary-level survey of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, blending historical insight with theological depth. The book begins with an orienting discussion of the nature and scope of the Synoptic tradition and the enduring puzzle of their literary relationships. It then guides readers through essential critical methodologies-source and redaction criticism, form criticism-and advances to literary-narrative and reader-response approaches. Subsequent chapters engage postcolonial, liberationist, and contextual perspectives, compare the Synoptics with Hebrew Scriptures, and explore themes of women, gender, and power alongside empire, politics, and resistance. A final section on the Synoptics and contemporary culture demonstrates the Gospels' ongoing relevance for faith communities, scholars, and practitioners. Crafted under AI supervision by a distinguished scholar, this volume balances academic rigor with accessibility, making it an indispensable resource for students, pastors, and all who seek a thoughtful introduction to the Synoptic Gospels.
