The Sayings Of Jesus

A new book in Facets: brief, brilliant treatments of vital aspects of faith and life. Reviving a publishing initiative and innovative format from Fortress Press's early days, we proudly re-introduce Facets, a series that answers contemporary calls for bold thinking, clear ideas, and words that succinctly go to the heart of the religious and moral quest. Facets offers gems of religious writing from leaders who address today's more important or pressing questions-biblical, theological, and moral. Each book, offered at an economical price, presents a special angle that uniquely illumines an area or issue.

Taking the English text from the International Q Project's authoritative The Critical Edition of Q (Fortress Press, 2000), this compact volume presents the Sayings Gospel Q for the first time in an accessible format. It includes a brief introduction by James M. Robinson, citations of the Matthew and Luke passages, and topical headings. This is perfect for use in congregations and classroom alike.
