Description
Summary:This study applies the linguistic argument from the Synoptic Tradition to the parallel material of 2 Peter and Jude. Matthew and Luke's corrections of Mark's poor grammar and word choice have been used extensively in Synoptic studies to argue for the priority of Mark's gospel. In contrast to previous studies, this essay is not concerned with issues concerning authorship and does not argue for the genuineness of either epistle. Rather, it calls into question the methods for determining priority based on issues of authorship and seeks to provide empirical evidence by examining the Greek grammar, structure, and vocabulary between the two letters. While previous studies have examined these categories independent of one another, no study has applied them to 2 Peter and Jude based on arguments employed in Synoptic studies; that is, whether one author has improved on the other.
