OK, but I don't know where you're going with your question, toejam. Either there was a Q or there was not. Maybe the question won't be settled. But what is the point of a scholar's continuing to entertain two mutually incompatible hypotheses, if s/he wants to do further work on the synoptic problem...

f, Can you expand on what you post here, Adam? What is the correct view about the narrative elements in Q, and how do we know it's correct? If it contained narrative at all, why no passion narrative - or did it have passion narrative? You speak of "the more apocalyptic Q2" as though we kno...

On page 50, Hermann Detering summarizes the Dutch Radical AD Loman's 1881 proposal: "Christianity in its origin was nothing else than a Jewish-Messianic movement ... the figure of Jesus had never existed, but represented a symbolization and personification of thoughts that could only make full...

Epiphanius, in general, never struck me as a guy overly concerned with accuracy.
