Estimated to date back to the very early Jesus movement, the lost Gospel known as Q offers a distinct and remarkable picture of Jesus and his significance - and one that differs markedly from that offered by its contemporary, the apostle Paul.
Though this document has never been found, Kloppenborg offers a succinct account of why scholars maintain it existed in the first place and demonstrates how they have been able to reconstruct its contents from the two later Gospels that used it as a source. Presented here in its entirety, as developed by the International Q project, this Gospel reveals a very different portrait of Jesus than in much of the later canonical writings, challenging the way we think of Christian origins and the nature and missions of Jesus Christ.
