The absence of recent work on reconstructing and contextualizing Marcion’s Evangelion and Apostolikon is disappointing, particularly given the implications for understanding early Christian texts and the development of the synoptic gospels. The pre-Lukan theory, which suggests Marcion’s gospel may represent a version of Luke predating the canonical text, challenges traditional views on the formation of the gospel narrative. This theory raises important questions about the so-called “Q” source, a hypothetical collection of Jesus’ sayings used by Matthew and Luke.
