The Sayings Gospel Q was composed in the central decades of the first
century CE by Galilean villagers who had acquired knowledge of Greek
mostly through their involvement with the public administration. The
present book analyzes the text of Q in order to rediscover the
terminological and ideological traces of the activity of these sub-elite
scribes in the Sayings Gospel. Given the bureaucratic positions occupied
by the members of this group, the peculiar use of the phrase Basileia
tou theou carries a specific significance for its theological
political implications. On the basis of Giorgio Agamben’s recent
revision of the category of political theology, the attitude of Q on
divine kingship is understood as an instance of sub-elite negotiation of
social and political positions vis-à-vis the expansion of Roman imperial
hegemony in the eastern Mediterranean. In this context the author(s) of
Q envisage apocalyptic scenarios in which divine kingship replaces human
rulers and native sub-elite bureaucrats can share in the exercise of
cosmic government.
