‘Q’
‘Q’. The symbol (usually held to come from the German Quelle, ‘source’) used by biblical critics in a strict sense for the hypothetical source of those passages in the Synoptic Gospels where Mt. and Lk. show a close similarity to each other but not to any parallel passage in Mk. The existence of such a document is challenged but has wide support. Some scholars use ‘Q’ or ‘q’ in a broader sense to denote not a common source of Mt. and Lk., but their common material. See also SYNOPTIC PROBLEM.
