| Theology Today - Vol 50, No.4 - January 1993 - BOOK REVIEW - The Lost Gospel: The Book of Q and Christian Origins (713 words) |
 | Burton Mack has now written a book for a popular audience that both summarizes the achievements of Q scholars thus far and adds Mack's own comprehensive theory of the composition and meaning of Q and the nature of the community that produced it. |
| Mack argues that this Jesus movement began to experience rejection and ridicule, as well as stress from the dissolution of family ties and other forms of association. |
| Although Mack presents the most comprehensive and detailed picture yet of the development of 0, it must be recognized that the reliability of his final conclusions about Christian origins depends upon the correctness of his solutions to a whole chain of disputed questions. |
