1517 Media The Critical Edition of Q by Paul Hoffmann John S. Kloppenborg James M. Robinson
A major new resource on the text and traditions of the Sayings Gospel.The existence of Q simply defined as the non-Markan material common to Matthew and Luke as a document in the earliest churches was first hypothesized by C. H. Weisse in 1838. The existence character and significance of Q as a document from primitive Christianity has further been developed since then by numerous scholars including the two groundbreaking Fortress Press books by John S. Kloppenborg: The Formation of Q 1987 and Excavating Q 2000.Q remains a subject of heated debate. The Q material consists mainly of sayings of Jesus but begins with some sayings of John the Baptist. For the most part narratives are missing; most conspicuously of all is the Passion Narrative.The critical text edition will include an introduction; the running text of Q; new translations of Q in English German and French; the fully formatted Greek text of Q with parallels in Matthew Luke Mark Gospel of Thomas and other gospels wherever relevant; a concordance; and a bibliography.This book is a cooperative venture between Fortress Press and Peeters Publishers Leuven Belgium. This also is the first volume of Hermeneia Supplements.show more
