An Aramaic Approach to Q
An Aramaic Approach to Q
Sources for the Gospels of Matthew and Luke
Maurice Casey reconstructs sources of Q: material found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke (and not in the Gospel of Mark). He replaces the conventional model of Q as a single Greek document with something more complex. This reconstruction and interpretation of the Aramaic sources raises the credibility level of deeds attributed to Jesus in earliest recorded sources.
- The first book to examine the Aramaic dimension of Q since the Aramaic Dead Sea scrolls were discovered
- Offers compelling new evidence for the existence of the historical Jesus
- Looks at the original Aramaic sources within their original cultural context of first-century Judaism
