The Fourth Synoptic Gospel — Dr. Mark Goodacre | MythVision Livestream

What if John knew and used Matthew, Mark, and Luke—not as a rival, but as a masterful re-composer? In this conversation, Derek sits down with Dr. Mark Goodacre to discuss his new book, The Fourth Synoptic Gospel: John’s Knowledge of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Drawing on long-neglected data and fresh analysis, Goodacre argues that John belongs with the Synoptics: he absorbs their narratives, reshapes their scenes, and heightens their Christology—and you can see it in the shared structures, diagnostic echoes, and narrative seams.

What we’ll cover:

• Why “Fourth Synoptic”? Rethinking the standard John-vs-Synoptics divide
• John’s use of Mark, Matthew, and Luke: from “diagnostic shards” to larger plot architectures
• Same stories, transformed: feeding/walking-on-water, anointing at Bethany, Passion/Empty Tomb parallels
• Differences that prove dependence: relocations, expansions, and theological upgrades
• Charts that make it click: visual comparisons that reveal John’s compositional method
• What changes if John used the Synoptics? Implications for source criticism, dating, and Christology
