He explores the similarities and intertextuality between these texts, arguing that John is not as independent as often thought. Goodacre delves into the structure of John's Gospel, the concept of the Messianic secret, and the implications of minor agreements between John and the Synoptics. He also addresses the identity of the beloved disciple and the Christological developments in John's writing, ultimately advocating for a paradigm shift in gospel scholarship that recognizes the interconnectedness of these texts.Dr. Mark Goodacre is Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins in the Religious Studies Department at Duke University.
