A
wide-ranging
examination
of the
key
issues
in Q
studies.
After seeking to
establish the
existence of Q,
Professor
Tuckett proceeds
to analyze the
characteristic
features of the
Q material. He
explores not
only what we can
learn about the
possible
'theology' of Q,
but also what we
can learn about
the social
situation of the
Christians who
valued and
preserved this
material.
There are
discussions of
John the Baptist
in Q, the
eschatology and
Christology of
Q, the nature of
the polemic in
Q. An attempt
is made to
determine how far
Q is a wisdom
text and how far
Q reflects Cynic
ideas. This
work will be of
interest to all
New Testament
scholars and
students
interested in the
Q tradition, the
earliest history
of Jesus
traditions and
early
Christianity in
general. |
