Q and James : a source-critical conundrum Paul Foster Wholeness in James and the Q source Patrick J. Hartin The audience of James and the sayings of Jesus Dale C. Allison, Jr. The urbanization of Jesus traditions in James Alicia J. Batten Stoicism, social stratification, and the Q tradition in James : a suggestion about James' audience David A. Kaden Jesus remembered in 1 Peter? : early Jesus traditions, Isaiah 53, and 1 Peter 2.21-25 David G. Horrell Early Jesus tradition in 1 Peter 3.18-22 Duane F. Watson The gospels of Matthew and John in the Second Letter of Peter Terrance Callan The testimony of Peter : 2 Peter and the gospel traditions Gene L. Green.

Summary: This book studies comparisons and possible trajectories between three 'catholic' epistles, and traditions associated with Jesus. Part A analyzes why James would recall the teachings of Jesus, how he alters these teachings, and what such adaptation suggests about his audience. Part B turns to the Jesus tradition and 1 and 2 Peter. What can 1 Peter's use of Isaiah 53 tell us about the historical Jesus? How has 1 Peter conflated early Jesus traditions with those of ancient Judaism in order to develop certain ideas? How does 2 Peter allude to Gospel traditions? Moreover, how does the author of 2 Peter use early Jesus traditions as a sort of testimony? The book is an important contribution to scholarship on source criticism, ancient rhetoric, and the influence of Hellenistic, Judean and Roman traditions on early Christianity.
