| Résumé: | The significance of Marcion’s Gospel in understanding the history of early Christianity has often been noted; however, a major challenge in research on Marcion’s Gospel as it relates to numerous issues (e.g., the gospel genre itself, the textual history of Luke, the relationship between Marcion’s Gospel and Luke, the Synoptic Problem, etc.) is that since no copies of Marcion’s Gospel are extant, the text must be reconstructed. This article offers a critical appraisal of specific issues related to the reconstruction of Marcion’s Gospel in recent scholarship on Marcion and his texts by Jason BeDuhn, Markus Vinzent, Matthias Klinghardt, and Judith Lieu. Particular attention is given to the variety of challenges confronting the academic study of this text, the manner in which potentially problematic reconstructions contribute to the place one ascribes to Marcion’s Gospel in the history of early Christianity, and the variety of points that must be discussed and debated further in order to advance research on Marcion’s Gospel. Only then is it possible to gain a better understanding of the Gospels, including Marcion’s Gospel, in the second century and in the history of early Christianity. |
