The writing of gospels lies at the heart ofearly Christian reflective activity.During the last decade, scholars have witnessed an explosion of intense study of gospel literature, necessitating a reorientation of our perspectives about Jesus and the origins of Christianity. This explosion is nowhere more evident than in the study of the earliest extensive collection of Jesus' sayings known as Q. Q Parallels is a foundational tool designed to aid in the reconstruction and investigation ofQ. Students and scholars have long been in need of a reliable synopsis of Q that presents, in the original Greek with a facing English translation, a reconstructionof both the minimal text and the probableextent of Q together with text-critical notes,parallels from other Jewish and Christianliterature, and a concordance of the vocabulary of the text. Kloppenborg does not promote a particular thesis on the extent or precise phrasing of Q. Rather, he incorporates even the most recent Q advances in his comprehensive workbook.Q Parallels is an essential tool for anyoneinterested in the earliest stages of the Jesus tradition.

The Complete Gospels: Annotated Scholar's Version

Robert J. Miller

In everyday speech we often hear people jokingly mention what they call the 'ultimate questions', the 'big questions', or 'the great questions' of life. In Don Cupitt's judgment, however, these questions are no joking matter. He believes that there is no higher truth than the truth that is built into our everyday speech and that, therefore, these questions should be taken seriously. In The Great Questions of Life, he collects and classifies all the great questions, in the wordings that are most familiar to us, and interprets and answers them. He shows how the decline of the old religion has led to the return of the great questions and explains why they have become important to us in modern times.
