Edwards and earlier authors concerning the relation of the 4th Century Jewish-Christian Gospels mentioned and partially preserved in the writings of Jerome and other early Church fathers to a possible lost Hebrew Ur-Matthew.
In The Hebrew Gospel and the development of the synoptic tradition (2009) Edwards writes "This book is dedicated to exploring the various ramifications of this hypothesis. Indeed, I hope to offer sufficient evidence to transform a hypothesis into a viable theory of the development of the Synoptic tradition."
Richard C. H. Lenski writes that a prominent form of this hypothesis is that the logia of Papias formed an entire Hebrew Gospel, originating from Matthew the Evangelist c64-67AD and being translated into Greek by an unknown writer c.90AD.
