Description
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 the earliest churches has further been developed since then by numerous scholars, including the two Fortress Press books by John S. Kloppenborg Verbin: The Formation of Q (1987) and Excavating Q (2000). Q remains a subject of heated debate. The Q show more 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. This critical text edition includes 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. --From publisher's description. show lessTags

The distinguished commentary series covers Q (and parts of the Gospel of Thomas.) A standard reference work for scholars based on a multi-decade team effort to canvas the entire 200 year history of scholarship on Q and every proposed variation on its contents.
(The introduction is a book in itself.) This book includes: Coptic, Koine Greek, and translations of each in English, French, and German. Essential for work in Synoptic Gospel scholarship (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) and New Testament studies, in general.
