Scholars often talk of the "synoptic problem" when studying the synoptic Gospels. I understand the basics of what they are saying, but the majority of their studies reek of a heavily secularist bias, so I am a bit skeptical of their conclusions.
That being said, I do think there is some evidence that the writers of Matthew and Luke had access to the Gospel of Mark. (This is not necessarily a bad thing.)
Has anyone here ever attempted to study the synoptic Gospels (or even all 4) side by side? If so, do you have any advice, recommendations, or insights on this?
