The Most Controversial Letter in Biblical Studies
For over a century, scholars have assumed that Matthew and Luke relied on a lost collection of Jesus’ sayings known as "Q." It is the bedrock of modern New Testament studies.
But what if it never existed?
If Q is real, it offers our earliest glimpse into the history of Jesus. If it’s a myth, our entire understanding of how the Gospels were written must be rewritten. .
For the first time, we are bringing together the two heavyweights of this discussion: Dr. John Kloppenborg, the world’s foremost defender of Q, and Dr. Mark Goodacre, the leading challenger who argues Q is unnecessary.
