Achtemeier, with the Society of Biblical Literature (NY: Harper Collins, 1996). It is currently the best one-volume Bible dictionary in English, and it is available at Border's Books, Christian Science Reading Rooms, http://www.borders.com, or http://www.christianbook.com.
Q, a symbol (probably from the German Quelle, meaning ‘source’) designating material common to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, but not found also in the Gospel of Mark (e.g., Matt. 3:7-10; Luke 3:7-9). Scholars who favor the Two-Source Hypothesis (Mark and Q are sources for Matthew and Luke) as the solution to the Synoptic Problem also frequently use the symbol to designate the hypothetical source or sources from which this material came. The Q material consists almost entirely of Jesus’ teachings and has nothing about his birth, death, or resurrection. Q plays no role in the Griesbach Hypothesis, which affirms that Matthew was the earliest gospel.
