One of the least well-researched aspects of the teaching of Jesus
found in the gospels is the use of proverbs, or aphorisms. Whilst
the parables of Jesus have drawn great interest and study, this
other kind of saying has been relatively neglected, although it is
equally if not more prominent in the gospel-tradition. The present
study is an attempt to show how these proverbial or aphoristic
sayings played an important role in the early formulation of the
sayings of Jesus by the church. Small collections of aphoristic
sayings can be detected in the sayings tradition known as 'Q'.
These collections reveal markedly similar structures and concepts,
which lead one to suspect that they have been compiled by a unique
group which had a particular interest in 'wisdom'. These findings
are then tested by analysing other aphoristic sayings outside the
collections and by relating the results to other studies which have
approached the question of 'wisdom' in the Jesus-tradition from
other angles.
