Yes, Virginia, There Is a Q

By Stephen J. Patterson
039 Eta Linnemann’s article on the Q hypothesisa takes Burton Mack and me to task not only for our scholarship, but also for what she takes to be our attack on traditional Christian beliefs. It’s a clever exercise in apologetics. However, this...

By David R. Cartlidge

Jesus Lives!

Looking Back on 20 Years of Jesus Scholarship
By Stephen J. Patterson
