N2  - This book makes a major contribution to the ongoing debate about which of the synoptic gospels was written first. Using the christological criterion, Dr Head argues against the revival of interest in the Griesbach Hypothesis (this claimed that Mark had used, conflated and abbreviated Matthew and Luke) in favour of Markan priority
