Canon:
Confused. I went to your above link: •F. David Farnell, “The Synoptic Gospels in the Ancient Church: A Testimony to the Priority of Matthew’s Gospel,” The Master’s Seminary Journal 10.1 (Spring 1999): 53-86, but all i found was announcements for a WLC lecture, not seemingly on this subject much.
This looks like a very comprehensive list answering the “critic’s” charges. I hope students of the subject take advantage of it, tho there is so much it will take considerable time and effort to do it justice.
Thanks. I fixed that link.
