I realized that one model for the #DocumentaryHypothesis is Tatian's treatment of the four gospels in his #Diatessaron . But if we only had the Diatessaron, would we be able to reconstruct four gospels, using Hebrew Bible scholar methods? The answer is no, in part because gospels share material.

I'm struck by how many times Baden asserts that this or that detail is "only in J." If the source documents agreed verbatim, why would a compiler duplicate them?
