Abstract
Judge notes that it is widely accepted that Mark was the earliest Gospel and was used by the authors of Matthew and Luke as their basic narrative source. However, he asserts that the two Gospels have additional material that is common only to them, and there is evidence that they used a common literary source for the material—known as source Q. His research relates to the hypothetical document “Q” and our understanding of the community behind it.
