About this person

Michael Douglas Goulder was a British biblical scholar who spent most of his academic life at the University of Birmingham where he retired as Professor of Biblical Studies in 1994. He was perhaps best known for his contributions to the Synoptic Problem, and specifically the Farrer hypothesis, which postulates Markan priority but dispenses with the Q document, suggesting instead that Luke knew the contents of Matthew. Goulder was also associated with the theory that the evangelists were highly creative authors, and that Matthew and Luke had only minimal source material. Goulder later admitted that his analogy comparing Matthean expansions of Mark to Midrash was untenable, and modern scholarship of the Farrer hypothesis has abandoned the idea that Matthew invented most of the content in the double tradition.
