The essays by Christopher Tuckett collected in this volume represent a number of studies, published over a period of 30 years, seeking to throw light on the way in which Jesus traditions were developed and used in early Christianity. Many of the essays are concerned in one way or other with the Sayings Source “Q”, discussing its existence, its possible pre-history, and key features of the material it contains. Further essays look at Jesus traditions in Paul and in the Gospel of Thomas. In a final section the author focuses on the individual synoptic gospels, with a number of studies concerned with Christology, especially the use of the term “Son of Man”. These essays show that early Christian traditions about Jesus can provide valuable information not only about Jesus but also about how early Christians used these traditions to relate to their own situations and contexts.

- By (author) Christopher Tuckett
"No one should write on the relationship between Q and Cynicism or on the stratification of Q or on the relationship between Q and Judaism or on the Son of Man sayings or on the relationship between Paul or the Gospel of Thomas and the Synoptics without engaging Tuckett's works on the subject. I am extremely grateful for this collection of essays and highly recommend it to anyone who plans to do serious critical work on the Gospels." --David B. Sloan, Malone University, Review of Biblical Literature, 3.25.16
