Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the last 20 years the Sayings Gospel "Q" has come to play an increasingly important role in the reconstruction of Christian origins. One might argue in fact that the field has reached a tipping point: the canonical myth of Christian origins—running along the traditional axis of Mark, Paul, and Luke-Acts—is now on the verge of collapse. Q has thus become a crucial site of conflict and contestation in the struggle over origins, and as such "Q studies" is particularly revealing of the ideological investments of professionals on both sides of the fight. This article tries to identify some of the stakes involved in this disciplinary crisis, and worries that the new counter-history of Christian origins has not entirely divested itself of the commitments of its more conservative adversaries.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
