Print version record.

This is the first book to examine the Aramaic dimension of Q since the Aramaic Dead Sea scrolls made such work more feasible. Maurice Casey reconstructs and interprets the Aramaic sources, raising the level of proof that Jesus said and did some of the things attributed in our earliest sources.
