Assuming Matthean priority, and literary dependency, Jameson's case 
appears to be very strong.  I suspect it has been ignored (much as 
Baird's "Audience Criticism and the Historical Jesus") merely because it 
would reverse the direction of NT studies away from Markan priority, the 
Two-Source Hypothesis, and the then-ongoing Quest of the Historical Jesus.

Of course, current traditions need continually to be challenged and 
reexamined, and Jameson gives one direction for valuable pursuit.
