    Farmer, William R. The Synoptic Problem: A Critical Analysis. Dillsboro, NC: Western North Carolina Press, 1976. 
    Argues for a return to the Matthean priority. Book is now reissued by Mercer University Press in the wake of new converts to the Matthean priority, which is really a rehash of the old Griesbach hypothesis.

    ________, ed.  New Synoptic Studies: The Cambridge Gospel Conference and Beyond. Macon: Mercer University Press, 1983.

    Reicke, Bo. The Roots of the Synoptic Gospels. Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1986. 
    Concerned with the origin and formation of the traditions which lie behind the synoptic gospels but concentrates more on reconstruction of literary sources, thereby avoiding much of the polemicized debate regarding the documentary hypotheses.

    Stein, Robert H. The Synoptic Problem: An Introduction. Grand Rapids: Baker House, 1987. 
    The author argues cogently for the two-document hypothesis in the first part of the book, then deals with form-criticism and the pre-literary period, and finally gives a fine discussion of redaction criticism.
