What is the 2SHs response to the issue of the minor agreements?
The 2SH’s response to the issue of the minor agreement is to weaken their significance by attributing various causes for them. For example, B. H. Streeter devoted a chapter on this issue with an analysis that is largely maintained today (Streeter 1924; see also Neirynck 1974). The minor agreements are generally handled in the 2SH by a combination of reasons how Matthew and Luke could have independently arrived at their anti-Markan agreements, such as coincindental redaction, overlaps with Q or oral traditions, and textual corruption. F. Neirynck, with T. Hanson & Frans Van Segbroeck, The Minor Agreements of Matthew and Luke Against Mark with a Cumulative List (BETL 37; Leuven: UP, 1974); B. H. Streeter, The Four Gospels (London: Macmillan, 1924) [web].
