AIMS AND GOALS OF 4
FC
1. simply, to classify gospel
traditions according to their
form
2 issues involved:
a) length of period
between oral trad and
writing
9
- negated, however, by
Qumran: community held
imminent expectation, but
produced large numbers of
literary materials.
12
b) As long as eyewitnesses
were still alive, no real need
for written Gospels
- Mark believed written
when Peter died
13
d) in Judaism, an established
pattern for oral transmission,
and so, Xtianity arising out of
jewish milieu, it was natural
that same pattern would be
followed.
15
e) as long as Jerusalem
Church existed, a central
authority could be appealed
to in matters of dispute.

Evangelists also as
“collectors” (Sammlern) of
materials using “cut and
paste” to bring isolated
traditions together
producing “pericope
collections” (rather than
complete gospels)!

(context) that preserved and
molded the gospel traditions
also (necessarily) gave them
birth.
