Document Details : Title: Is Q a 'Jewish Christian' Document? Author(s): FOSTER, Paul Journal: Biblica Volume: 94 Issue: 3 Date: 2013 Pages: 368-394 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.94.3.3186156 Abstract : Recent research has generated different hypotheses concerning the social location of Q. This discussion commences with an examination of scholarship on the phenomenon of 'Jewish Christianity' and theories concerning the social location of Q. Next, meta-level questions are addressed, concerning how social location is determined from a text. The discussion then considers four areas mentioned in Q that might be of potential significance for determining social location. These are references to synagogues, the law, Gentiles, and unbelieving Israel. In conclusion, the inclusive perspectives may suggest that the document had a more positive attitude toward Gentiles than is often stated. |
