About this title

Synopsis:

This book for general readers relates the story of the discovery of the Book of Q, the earliest collection of the sayings of Jesus that has long been recognized by biblical scholars as the basis for much of the gospels. A closer study of the Book of Q reveals that the followers of Jesus did not think of him as the Messiah or Christ. Neither did they believe that he was the Son of God, or that his death was divine, tragic, or a saving event. They were simply "Jesus people", and the narrative gospels as we know them are the result of early Christian myth making.
