Uno de cuatro, cuatro y no uno. El Diatésaron de Taciano y el Evangelio cuadriforme
(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2020) Pereira-Delgado, A. (Álvaro)
The early Church recognized the truth of the Gospel in four different texts (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and not in certain unifying works that arose in the second century: the choice of Marcion for a single Gospel or Tatian’s Diatessaron (one Gospel «through four»). This study analyzes the factors that motivated this tendency to unify the evangelical traditions, with special emphasis on Diatessaron, and the criticisms that led to the eradication of its reading in the liturgy. We conclude with a reflection on the theological implications that emerge from this canonical discernment: how does having to read the one Gospel of Christ from four different texts affect Christian revelation?
