Q the Earliest Gospel by John S. Kloppenborg Book PDF Summary

Estimated to date back to the very early Jesus movement, the lost Gospel known as Q offers a distinct and remarkable picture of Jesus and his significance--and one that differs markedly from that offered by its contemporary, the apostle Paul. Q presents Jesus as a prophetic critic of unbelief and a sage with the wisdom that can transform. In Q, the true meaning of the "kingdom of God" is the fulfillment of a just society through the transformation of the human relationships within it. Though this document has never been found, John Kloppenborg offers a succinct account of why scholars maintain it existed in the first place and demonstrates how they have been able to reconstruct its contents and wording from the two later Gospels that used it as a source: Matthew and Luke. Presented here in its entirety, as developed by the International Q Project, this Gospel reveals a very different portrait of Jesus than in much of the later canonical writings, challenging the way we think of Christian origins and the very nature and mission of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of Q

Decades before our earliest preserved Gospels were first penned, the things Jesus said and did were passed down by word of mouth among his followers.

From the Earliest Gospel  Q   to the Gospel of Mark

In this book, Dennis R. MacDonald argues that the intertextuality of the Synoptic Gospels is best explained not as the redaction of sources but more flexibly as the imitation of literary texts, such as the Iliad and the Odyssey.
