The Mystery Q
Well somehow with everything going on in my classes I still managed to stay tuned into Dr. Foster's lecture today. Perhaps it was the changing of rooms, why can't we always be in that one, it's beaut. So the lecture basically divided into three section entitled Source Criticism, Red-action Criticism and The Quest for the Historical Jesus. It was all interesting to me however the first section was wild. So we have this imaginery book called Q that Matthew and Luke supposedly have drawn from as well as Mark's gospel. Why couldn't they have just wrote about the stories that they had seen or heard and ofcourse what they saw in Mark's gospel. What is the majority of believe behind another document. I certaintly can't see a connection between Matthew and Luke that is not contained in Mark. Then we add M and L documentation to the mixture. Oh boy, what fun. Streeter are you serious about this Four Source hypothesis?

That is funny and you pose and interesting question. Why couldn't they just write it from what they see and hear. Why did it have to be some random book. And as I was trying to keeep up with all the different letter it did get very confusing and intruiging to me.
