Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The book ""The Diatessaron of Tatian and the Synoptic Problem"" by A.A. Hobson is a scholarly work that explores the relationship between the four Gospels of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The author focuses specifically on the Diatessaron, a harmony of the Gospels created by Tatian in the second century AD, which combines elements from all four Gospels into a single narrative.Hobson examines the Diatessaron in light of the Synoptic Problem, which refers to the question of how the similarities and differences between the three Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) can be explained. He argues that the Diatessaron provides important insights into this problem, as it shows how early Christians attempted to reconcile and harmonize the different accounts of Jesus' life and teachings.The book begins with a brief overview of the history of the Diatessaron and its importance in the early Christian church. Hobson then delves into the details of the text, analyzing its structure, content, and sources. He also explores the various theories that have been proposed to explain the Synoptic Problem, including the Two-Source Hypothesis and the Farrer Hypothesis.Throughout the book, Hobson provides extensive references to primary sources and secondary literature, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christianity and biblical studies. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it accessible to a wider audience interested in the history of the Christian church and the development of the New Testament canon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
