More DescriptionThe study of Q, which dominated biblical scholarship for almost a century, has caused in recent decades a lively discussion in reference to Christian origins. This second source of the Synoptic tradition seems to expound a radically different theological view from the mainstream kerygmatic expression of the early Church.
