Restoring the Lost Gospel Scholars Call Q – TaborBlog
The Q Source (or Quelle) is a hypothetical document of Jesus' sayings, theorized by biblical scholars to explain the shared material in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke that isn't in Mark, forming a key part of the "Two-Source Hypothesis". No physical Q manuscript exists, but scholars reconstruct it by comparing common passages, often called logia (sayings), to understand the early Christian tradition and the Gospels' development, though some scholars debate its existence.
Key aspects of the Q Source:
Origin of the Name: "Q" comes from the German word Quelle, meaning "source".
Purpose: It's proposed as the common source for the roughly 235 verses of Jesus' sayings found in both Matthew and Luke but absent from Mark.
Contents: Primarily consists of Jesus' teachings, such as the Beatitudes, the Lord's Prayer, and parables like the Good Samaritan (in Luke's version) and teachings on love for enemies.
The Synoptic Problem: Q is the primary solution to the "Synoptic Problem," which asks how the similar Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) relate to each other.
Scholarly View: Most scholars accept Q as a foundation for understanding the Synoptic Gospels, though some propose alternative theories or question its reality.
No Physical Evidence: Despite extensive searches, no manuscript of the Q document has ever been found, making it a hypothetical reconstruction.
Example of Q Material (from Matthew & Luke):
"Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:44 / Luke 6:27-28).
"Treat people how you want them to treat you" (The Golden Rule) (Matthew 7:12 / Luke 6:31). |
