The Sign of Jonah in the Evangelists and Q
Overview
This study applies redaction criticism to one small portion of the synoptic tradition, namely the “sign of Jonah.” Richard A. Edwards examines the problems surrounding the Sign of Jonah and traces its development from the gospels to the original source document known only as “Q.” In the process he unearths new insights into the community that produced the Q document.
