Biblical Archaeology Review

In these categories Brown adopts A. Paul’s L’Evangile de l’Enfance selon saint Matthieu, Paris, 1968 doubling of Stendahl’s Quis et Unde (Judentum, Urchristentum, Kirche, Berlin, 1964).

Brown does not deal with the questions of authorship but uses “Matthew” and “Luke” to designate the person responsible for the final form of each Gospel.

This hypothetical stage is still retained in Matthew (3:16–17) and Luke (3:22), although they both, as shall be seen, carry the Christological kergyma back to Jesus’ conception. This stage is also reflected in John (1:32–34) although John carries the Christological kergyma back to the pre-existence of the Son of God.

Some scholars see the transfiguration of Jesus (Mark 9:2–13) as a stage in the transition between the resurrection and the baptism.
