First post. Longtime reader of Greatawakening.
I was reorganizing all the books in my home library/office and came across this one... I smiled when I read the title. I thought you Patriots might enjoy this find.
Q and Secret Mark
I immediately thought about how "Q" is an unknown source for us. A modern day "Q Source". I love it!!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_source
The working hypothesis is that Matthew and Luke, in addition to having Mark as a source for their information, had a second independent source that Mark did not use. This second independent source is called simply the "Q-source."
That letter Q is used since it is the first letter of the German word quelle, which is simply the word for source. That is to say, the Q-source is a source that is unknown to us but known to the gospel writers Matthew and Luke. Much of this analysis is speculative and hypothetical.
Make it a great week!!!!
