  • Description:

    Q was a mid first century gospel. It consisted of teachings of Jesus with no narrative, even the crucifixion, and hardly even any miracles. Q served as a major source for Matthew and Luke in the later first century. Like most first century documents, Q has not survived. Its contents (and very existence) are hypothesized. Its text is reconstructed on the basis of what Matthew and Luke have in common which is not in Mark (who is their other main source). We will read the parallel Matthew/Luke passages. I will analyse the differences and facilitate group discussion. You will need a King James Bible. (John Kloppenborg's "Q Parallels" is optional.)
