Luke-Acts Primacy

The Hebrew Gospel, cited by church fathers, is the fountainhead of the Gospel tradition. Luke, not Matthew or Mark, embodies this primitive Gospel tradition.

Luke did not try to expunge and blend his sources, particularly, his Semitic source as evidenced by the Semitisms of Special Luke

B.H. Streeter was pivotal toward establishing the modern “consensus”. Yet, he advocated that Proto-Luke, an early form of Luke, had priority over Mark.

The order of the Synoptic Gospels is Luke->Mark->Matthew as indicated by a detailed statistical analysis. The analysis summarized validates Lukan Priority

Paul referred to Luke as Scripture. Paul makes reference to the material that is exclusively in Gospel of Luke. Paul attests to Luke-Acts Primacy

The Farrer hypothesis (also known as the Farrer-Goulder-Goodacre hypothesis) is the theory that the Gospel of Mark was written first, followed by the Gospel of Matthew and then the author of the Gospel of Luke used both Mark and Matthew as source material. This theory is refuted.
