In this groundbreaking study, Kloppenborg uses genre criticism and
redaction criticism to examine the composition and development of
the sayings source Q. He argues that Q is composed of three
compositional layers, or strata, each of which reflects certain
stages of development in the Q community. The first, and formative,
layer reflects the influence of collections of ancient sapiential
sayings and contains six wisdom speeches. The second layer reflects
the influence of the prophetic literature of judgment and contains
prophetic oracles and many Son-of-Man sayings. A third layer adds a
temptation story, which moves the document from a chriae collection
in the direction of a biography. James Robinson at Claremont
University notes: John Kloppenborg s impressively wide-ranging
survey of the various genres of collection sayings in antiquity and
his placing of Q within that context have elevated this dimension
of the study of Q to a new niveau of sophistication. With its
publication, all previous studies of the genre of Q are rendered
inadequate. This fine, well-written book is an outstanding
contribution to synoptic studies .It is undoubtedly the best book
on Q available in English. Arland D. Jacobsen, Journal of Biblical
Literature John S. Kloppenborg teaches at the University of St.
Michael s College and the University of Toronto (both in Toronto).
His previous books include Conflict and Invention: Literary,
Rhetorical, and Social Studies on the Sayings Gospel Q (Trinity)
and The Shape of Q: Signal Essays on the Sayings Gospel. For: New
Testament scholars interested in the Synoptic Gospels; seminarians
and graduate students.
