Book excerpt: This book is about Jesus' first followers in Palestine, those obscure upstarts responsible for gospel traditions that resulted from developments at the eastern end of the Mediterranean basin in the cradle of Syrian Christianity. Vaage sketches a social profile of these followers of Jesus, based on the literary stratum biblical scholars have designated as "Q", the other source text used by Matthew and Luke in the composition of the gospels.
