Extract

The American scholar John Knox is noted for his defence of the thesis that the canonical gospel of Luke reached its final form after it had passed through the hands of the heretic Marcion in the second century. This thesis, hinted at by the scholar Semler in the eighteenth century and argued by F. C. Baur in the nineteenth century, was again stated by John Knox in an article in 1939 and in a book, Marcion and the New Testament, in 1942..

page 249 note 2 Merrill C. Tenney, in his unpublished doctoral dissertation, indicated that on statistical grounds those quotations from Luke in Tertullian which are derived, presumably directly, from Marcion's gospel differ from the Old Latin in not much higher degree than do those passages which Tertullian quotes presumably from his own orthodox Luke.
