On June 30th 1999, James M. Robinson formally retired from his
position as Arthur Letts Jr. Professor of Religion at Claremont Graduate
University. At this juncture in his life Peeters Publishers is proud to be the
publisher of a festschrift, From Quest to Q, dedicated to Robinson, and his
monumental contributions to the field of Q studies or the Sayings Gospel Q. The
Festschrift is divided into four sections following an introduction written by
Asgeirsson.

The first section of the Festschrift entitled From Source to
Document opens with a tribute to the jubilee whose very work within the
International Q Project has, indeed transformed the hypothetical source into a
document using a papyrological model. It is followed by two essays: one on the
genre of the document Q and the other on the impact of Old Testament citations
or allusions in Q or more specifically the Temptation Story in Q.

The second section on Founder and Fashion visits in three essays the
questions of the character of Jesus. Whom may he be likened to, what factors in
the social environment of the followers of Jesus colored his manners and view of
life?

In a third section Topos and Topics, four essays deal with diverse
theological motifs in Q. From the breaking up of traditional family
relationships to the question of the poor, this section also includes the motif
of Son of man and the geographical topos, Nazara.

The last section, Q in Redaction deals with several aspects of the
redaction of Q in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Finally, in this section, two
essays deal with parallel motifs in Q, the Gospel of Thomas, the Synoptic
Gospels, as well as the Gospel of John.

The contributors, from Europe and the United States, have all worked within the
field of Q Studies and together comprise some of the most prominent names among
junior and senior scholars in the field.
