Reviews

To summarize, The Parables in Q is without a doubt an important contribution not only to the study of Q but also to the broader field of synoptic studies, giving New Testament scholars in multiple research areas considerable food for thought… Well written, argued, and researched, the monograph is an excellent addition to the landmark Library of New Testament Studies series.
*Biblical Theology Bulletin*

All in all, Roth’s work is valuable on both the literary and historical fronts. Those who like to study the parables would do well to engage this work along with any work on parables or the Synoptic Gospels.
