n 1983 the SBL established a Q Seminar (until 1989). In 1990 this was transformed into a Q Section, which finished its first six-year term in 1995.

The SBL Q Section is closely related to the International Q Project. The IQP’s reconstruction of Q has been published in The Critical Edition of Q. A comprehensive and detailed statement of arguments for this reconstruction can be found in the ongoing series Documenta Q.

Most recent session:

3. "Hidden Gospels and Popular Culture"
