WATSON, F. P., Connecting Gospels. Beyond the Canonical/Non-Canonical Divide. Oxford University Press, 2018. 296p. Hardback. The volume contains three parts which map onto the life of Jesus. Part 1, Beginnings, contains four essays that address issues related to the backstory of Jesus or different configurations of the birth accounts. The second part turns to aspects of Jesus's ministry, particularly the accounts of Jesus in Nazareth, engagement with Jews and the role of women. The final part focuses on the passion accounts and eschatology.Each essay brings important insights on the relationships of the ancient texts. The studies expose the complex interactions of these texts and the variety of ways in which the texts were employed in the ancient world. While each essay makes a contribution to the study of individual gospels, the volume as a whole raises important and difficult questions.
