S2E6 - The "Q" Source
April 3, 2019
Risen JesusMike Licona
What is "Q"? Is it a common source of the gospels? It's own gospel? How should we view the other gospels in light of Q? On this episode, Dr. Licona discusses the Q source, it's content, and alternative hypotheses.
The Risen Jesus podcast with Dr. Mike Licona equips people to have a deeper understanding of the Gospel, history, and New Testament studies. The program is hosted by Kurt Jaros and produced in partnership with Defenders Media.
