Join Dr. Mark Goodacre and Dr. John Kloppenborg for Did Q Exist?, a live, five-lecture event investigating the greatest literary mystery at the heart of the New Testament.

In the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, there are hundreds of shared verses that appear nowhere in Mark. For decades, many scholars have attributed this to "Q," a hypothetical lost source of Jesus’ sayings. But is Q a historical reality or a scholarly myth?

In this course, two of the world’s leading experts on the Synoptic Problem go head-to-head. While both agree that Matthew and Luke used Mark as a foundation, they diverge sharply on the "Double Tradition." Dr. Kloppenborg will present the case for the existence of Q, while Dr. Goodacre argues that Luke simply read Matthew.

Through an analysis of the "Minor Agreements" and the editorial styles of the Evangelists, this course offers a rare opportunity to see top-tier scholarship in action. Is it time to retire Q, or is it the essential key to understanding the historical Jesus?
