L : luke"s special source, info found only in luke. Concerned with written documents used by new testament authors. Extent of material (matthew and luke are longer, both added info) Divergence in sequence, but mark is always in agreement (basis) Only difference is actually a mistake (plucking grain, name of the priest) Stylistic: matthew and luke had better greek. Both cleaned up mark"s greek, present to past. Certain norms with certain types of texts. Literary task: analyze form of story or saying (does it fit?) Historical task: understand ways in which story/saying was passed on (purpose?) Classification: analyze and classify data of nt into categories (formal categories) Comparison: compare nt forms with comparable forms in other types of literature (compare and contrast)
