v.9

This fourth volume in the series Documenta Q is concerned with the reconstruction of the Q text behind Luke 12:8-9 par. Matt 10:32-33 ("Confessing or Denying"), Luke 12:10 par. Matt 12:32 ("Speaking against the Holy Spirit"), Luke 12:11-12 par. Matt 10:19 ("Hearings before Synagogues"), and Matt 10:23 ("Fleeing among the Towns of Israel" which, it was decided, does not belong to Q). The International Q Project's presentation of the critical text of Q 12:8-12, together with the exhaustive history of research on which it is based, will considerably enhance research in the Sayings Gospel Q, the historical Jesus, and New Testament christology. The databases and evaluations are an expanded and revised version of those presented and discussed at the meetings of the International Q Project in New Orleans 1990 (Q 12:10), San Francisco 1992 (Matt 10:23), Washington 1993 (Q 12:8-9), and Rattenbach/Niederbayern 1994 (Q 12:11-12). (Lucan chapter and verse numeration is used as a convenience and a mere convention.) Just prior to the bibliography at the conclusion of the volume the resultant critical text of Q 12:8-12 is printed.
Then this Greek text is followed by English, German and French translations.

v.3

The sixth volume in the series Documenta Q is concerned with the reconstruction of the Q text behind Luke 6:20-21 par. Matt 5:2-3,6. The International Q Project's presentation of the critical text of Q 6:20-21, together with the exhaustive history of research on which it is based, will enhance considerable research in the Sayings Gospel Q, the historical Jesus, and New Testament theology. According to Q, Jesus' first words in his public ministry are the beatitudes for the poor, hungry, and mourning. This shows the weight and importance these words carry in the Jesus tradition. There is also a wide consensus that these three beatitudes probably go back to the historical Jesus. This could be one reason for the prominent place these verses have in Q: at the beginning of Jesus' inaugural sermon. They are certainly one of the core sayings of Jesus' message about the kingdom of God. The database and evaluations are an expanded and revised version of those presented and discussed at the meeting of the International Q Project in Claremont, CA 1991. Just prior to the bibliography at the conclusion of the volume the resultant critical text of Q 6:20-21 is printed.
This Greek text is followed by English, German and French translations. (Lucan chapter and verse numeration is used as a convenience and a mere convention.)

v.11

The fifth volume in the series Documenta Q is concerned with the reconstruction of the Q text behind Luke 22:28, 30 par. Matt 19:28. The International Q Project's presentation of the critical text of Q 22:28, 30, together with the exhaustive history of research on which it is based, will enhance considerably research in the Sayings Gospel Q, the historical Jesus, and New Testament christology. Further, nowhere else in the Synoptic tradition is the claim of the Jesus movement regarding Israel stated more clearly than in Q 22:28, 30. The database and evaluations are an expanded and revised version of those presented and discussed at the meeting of the International Q Project in Chigaco 1994. Just prior to the bibliography at the conclusion of the volume the resultant critical text of Q 22:28, 30 is printed. This Greek text is followed by English, German and French translations. (Lucan chapter and verse numeration is used as a convenience and a mere convention.)
