	Q document - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Q document or Q (Q for German Quelle, "source") is a postulated lost textual source for the Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of Luke.
		Q, part of the Two-Source Hypothesis, would not have existed if Matthean priority is true, as Luke would have gotten his triple tradition ("Markan") and double tradition ("Q") material from Matthew.
		Basing their reconstructions primarily on the Gospel of Thomas and the oldest layer of Q, they propose that Jesus functioned as a wisdom sage more analogous to a Greek Cynic philosopher than to a Jewish rabbi.

	Gospel of Thomas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since this date antecedes the dates of the traditional four gospels, there is some claim that the Thomas gospel is or has some connection to the Q gospel —the name for an unknown, theorised text (or oral verse) which may have spawned gospels of Matthew and Luke known today.
		The early camp also notes that Q is almost universally regarded by secular biblical scholars as the most parsimonious explanation for the synoptic problem and is widely regarded to be the earliest written text of Jesus' teachings.
		The gospel is ostensibly written from the point of view of Didymus Judas Thomas, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus (who appears in the Gospel of John as "doubting Thomas").

	from jesus to christ: the story of the storytellers: more about q and the gospel of thomas
		Q is the designation for a gospel that no longer exists, but many think must have existed at one time.
		The Gospel of Thomas is very different from the gospels that have become part of the New Testament.
		The "recovery" of the Q gospel has stimulated a debate about the nature early Christian communities, and by extension, the origins of Christianity itself.

	The Gospel of Thomas: Frequently Asked Questions
		The four canonical gospels and Thomas and other gospels such as the Gospel of Philip (found at Nag Hammadi) were given their names some time in the second century.
		The name of the person who supposedly wrote the Gospel of Thomas is given in the first lines of the text as "didymos Judas thomas." The word "didymos" is Greek for twin and the word "thomas" is Aramaic for twin.
		Many of the sayings are the same, but most of the sayings in Thomas are not in Q. Thomas is the same sort of thing as Q was but Thomas is not Q. Probably Thomas and Q circulated separately in the middle or the later part of the first century.

	Paul and the Gospel of Q
		The Gospel of Q however, is a hypothetical text that scholars believe has been lost over the years.
		Based on this, the Gospel of Q is mostly a collection of wisdom teachings.
		Thus, the Gospel of Q is not a religious text but a wisdom text.

	The Lost Gospel: Book Review by Laura Knight-Jadczyk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Q is one of the two sources for Matthew and Luke, the other being old Mark, but the unknown lost source is now named Q. While this subject comes up under the subject heading of Q hypothesis - (synoptics criticism), since the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas, it really isn't a hypothesis anymore.
		The Q people were concerned with the care of their members as a "family." I would suggest that there was a perception of differences in human beings among the Q people, though Mack does not make a special point of analyzing that issue.
		Q reveals what Jesus people thought about Jesus before there was a Christian congregation of the type reflected in the letters of Paul, and before the idea of a narrative gospel was even dared.

	from jesus to christ: the story of the storytellers: q - the hypothetical gospel
		Q, as I see it, is not a gospel, it's a hypothesis.
		When scholars first began to study the gospels of the New Testament, literarily, they discovered that Matthew and Luke both used Mark as the core, sort of the basic story line that they tell.
		For example, whoever collected the sayings of Q wasn't interested in the death of Jesus, wasn't interested in the resurrection of Jesus.

	BOOKS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT: THE GOSPELS
		Gospel is a translation of the Greek word "euangelion" which means "good news." About 50 gospels were written in the first and second century CE; each was believed to be accurate by various groups within the early Christian movement.
		One source estimates that over 90% of contemporary Gospel scholars accept this theory and the existence of the Gospel of Q. The Synoptic Problem is not particularly important to most conservative theologians.
		Since they regard all of the gospels as inerrant (free of error) and inspired by God, it matters little who wrote them, when they were written, and which author had access to which documents.

	The Lost Sayings Gospel Q
		Some scholars have observed that the Gospel of Thomas and the Q material, as contrasted with the four canonical gospels, are similar in their emphasis on the sayings of Jesus instead of the passion of Jesus.
		Q's characterization of Jesus as the all-knowing one could be used to enhance his authority as a self-referential speaker in the pronouncement stories Mark already had from his own community.
		However, the very distinctiveness of the Q material as shown by the recent redaction-critical studies of Q is in itself an indication that this material did exist as a separate entity at some stage in the development of the synoptic tradition.

	TIC Talk 39 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The vastness of the Q literature is shaped in large part by two related issues, the first the discovery of and resulting research on a complete version of the Gospel of Thomas (found in 1945 among the Coptic documents at Nag Hammadi and only available for widespread scholarly research for a few decades).
		While the discussion of wisdom forms in the earliest Q materials is part of a longer-term repudiation of the old Schweitzerian thesis that Q was eschatological and prophetic, some scholars, such as Migaku Sato, continue to claim that foundational Q represents prophetic rather than wisdom forms.
		Robinson sees the Q community as poor, while Levine suggests that the text reveals both poor mendicants and more wealthy supporters, for whom equality was required within each segment but not among the two.

	PEST - "Q": The Gospel before Jesus?
		Although no Q document has yet found, it (as a writing or tradition) is considered by most scholars in recent times to have formed the basis of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke - possibly in conjunction with an early version of the Gospel of Mark That of course proves - nothing.
		On the basis that the Q Gospel may have originally related to much earlier traditions, rather than to the "Jesus" of the first century CE, Tabor has compiled a list of "original sayings" of Jesus not found in Q.
		There is reason to believe that the Gospel of Q, which forms a central portion of Matthew and Luke, could have been based upon the sayings of a messianic teacher from the second century BCE, whose failed prophesies were a source of some dismay to the Jewish cult of first-century Qumran.

		A post-script: Q theory is the idea that the sometimes identical language of the synoptic gospels can be explained by a now missing early manuscript which scholars have been trying to piece together with NT scraps.

	The Gospel of Q, Q Gospel
		The Q document, also called the Q Gospel, the Sayings Gospel Q, the Synoptic Sayings Source, and in the 19th century the Logia, comprises a hypothetical collection of Jesus' sayings, hypothesized in accordance with the two-source hypothesis to be a source of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.
		The existence of Q follows from the argument that Matthew and Luke show independence in the double tradition, the material that Matthew and Luke shared that does not appear in Mark.
		If Q ever existed, it must have disappeared very early, since no copies of it have been recovered and no definitive notices of it have been recorded in antiquity (but see the discussion of the Papias testimonium below).

	IQP Q Text (English)
		After all, Q is the Gospel of Jewish Christianity, which continued in Galilee to proclaim Jesus’ sayings, but the New Testament is the book preserving the ancient sources of Gentile Christianity, the oldest being the letters of Paul, for whom Jesus’ cross and resurrection, not his sayings, were central to the Christian message.
		Hence they preferred to make copies of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, where the sayings of Jesus from Q were rephrased to avoid misunderstandings, and to fit their own situations and their understanding of what Jesus had really meant.
		Particularly the first part of Q (Q 3-7) seems carefully structured, to prove the case that Jesus is the “one to come” prophecied by John (Q 3:16b-17).

	The Real Jesus of the Sayings "Q" Gospel
		This old Sayings Gospel was not like the canonical Gospels, so colored over with the kerygma of cross and resurrection that the historical Jesus, though embedded therein, was actually lost from sight by the heavy overlay of golden patina.
		Perhaps, it is Jesus' wrestling with this question that comes to mythical expression in Q as a debate with the devil in the three temptations of Jesus.
		But when one turns to Matthew, the contacts with the Sayings Gospel Q are so striking that one has now come to realize that the Gospel of Matthew was written in a community that itself had been part of the Sayings Gospel's movement.

		to assess jesus in this respect you would first have to eliminate from the gospels (canonical and non canonical) teachings of dubious attribution.
		my thesis is that the teachings of the core of sayings drawn upon by matthew and luke, which the scholars know as 'Q', fall into two distinct categories.
		the thesis is much longer and more complex than this outline, but anyone familiar with the ' lost gospel of Q ' will be able, with the help of this hint, to recognise for themselves that there are two distinct ' voices' in the sayings gospel.
