Excavating Q: The History and the Setting of the Sayings Gospel
By John S. Kloppenborg Verbin

>>“Sayings Gospel” refers primarily to the hypothesized Q source (Quelle), a collection of Jesus’ sayings used by Matthew and Luke, but also to other non-canonical texts like the Gospel of Thomas, containing unique teachings (logia) not in the Bible, focusing on deep wisdom, spiritual transformation, and practical ethics like loving enemies, giving freely, and turning the other cheek.

Ta.

Happy Solstice everyone!

Ms Kingy got me a Turing Tumble board game/computer. I had a play with it this morning and built a few programs.

Ms Kingys present is still in the mail :/ so I got her a bunch of scratchies.

I hope they’re still playing it.

By John S. Kloppenborg Verbin

Excavating Q is nice and technical, with lots of citations. They’ve made some odd decisions wrt the glossary. Like they’ve taken care to explain what a hectare is, but appear to have been confident that the reader understands the words pericopae, paraenesis, and makarism.
