Elizabeth Corsar blogged<\/a> about the fact that the relationship between the Gospel of John and the Synoptic Gospels is still not resolved after all these years. When I shared the post on Facebook, someone suggested that John and the Synoptics would be a great band name, and that Corsar\u2019s blog preview image would work as the album cover.

$\"John-and-the-Synoptics-Blog-793x446\"$ <\/p>\n

I think her post subtitle could also be an album title. What do you think? Should I or someone else start a band called \u201cJohn and the Synoptics\u201d? Has someone already beaten us to it?<\/p>\n
