According to this theory, Mark wrote first, Luke made use of Mark, and Matthew made use of both Mark and Luke. The book starts with a very good introduction (chapter 1), in which the need, purpose, content and contribution of the study are clearly stated. The second part of the introduction concisely surveys the history of scholarship on the {MPH}. The meat of the publication appears in only two chapters. Chapter 2 considers arguments for the {MPH} that may be added to those already outlined by previous scholars. Chapter 3 attempts to refute some of the challenges brought against the {MPH} by proponents of competing solutions. The conclusion (chapter 4) summarises the content of the book, evaluates the {MPH} and offers suggestions for further research.}, pages = {379--383}, number = {2}, journaltitle = {Neotestamentica}, author = {Howes, Llewellyn}, urldate = {2020-06-27}, date = {2017}, note = {Paid}, }
