(Some info on what "Q" is: There is a widespread belief among post-Christians, liberal Christians, some mainline Christians, and secularists that the authors of the Gospels of Mark and Luke were not eye witnesses to Jesus' ministry in Palestine

The German researchers who pioneered in this work called this lost document "Quelle" which means "source". This is usually abbreviated to "Q."
The Gospel of Q remains a hypothetical document. No actual copy has ever been found. No reference to the document in early Christian writings has survived. Its existence is inferred from an analysis of the text of Matthew and Luke.
