Description
This text portrays major areas of current discussion and debate regarding the early source of Jesus's sayings, known as Q. 16 gospel scholars have advanced the debate about this source's nature, history and significance. Contributors discuss Q's existence, its relationship to Mark's gospel and to the Gospel of Thomas, its genre, its redactional history with reference to the Son of Man and to wisdom and prophetic traditions, its social history with respect to family structures and the Cynics, a feminist analysis of Q, and its significance for the historical Jesus and for Jesus's parables. The volume sheds light on Jesus and Christian origins, as well as upon Q itself.
