Mark Goodacre

Mark Goodacre is a British New Testament scholar of the contemporary era, writing from a critical academic context within the modern guild of biblical studies.

He is best known for his work on the Synoptic Gospels and the problem of their literary relationship, especially his defence of the Farrer hypothesis and his sustained engagement with source criticism. His publications explore the formation of the Gospel traditions, the use of Scripture within the Gospels, and the historical and literary shape of early Christian texts. He has also contributed to public scholarship through lectures and digital projects that make technical discussions more widely accessible.

Goodacre is valued for clarity of argument, careful attention to textual detail, and a willingness to challenge entrenched assumptions. His work sharpens exegetical awareness, even for readers who approach the text from confessional commitments different from his own.
