Q is short for “quelle” and means “source.” The concept behind Q is to reconstruct the original sayings of Jesus. Many quotes of Jesus found in the Bible may very well have been embellished or forged. So it is of interest to some to endeavor to find the original or lost sayings of Jesus. This can be achieved by searching through the Gospels, comparing and contrasting their contents until a common thread is found, which might better reveal Jesus' true words. Thus, the quelle, or source, of Jesus' sayings is found. “The Lost Gospel Q: The Original Sayings of Jesus”, written by Marcus Borg, is an effort by the author to deliver the purest messages and statements from Jesus to the readers.

Each of the Q sayings of Jesus are presented alone on a page, with an occasional footnote providing some explanations or interesting background information relating to the saying. A cross reference is also provided at the back of the book, making it easy to cross reference the Q with the parallel scriptures in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. This
The novel Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Nhat Hanh has many interesting quotes. Some are about life and success and others are motivational quotes. All of these are very interesting but the one that stood out to me the most was when he wrote, “If we cling to our idea of hope in the future we might not notice the peace and joy that are available in the present moment.

The Ninth Commandment in the Bible states, “thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” (Exodus 20:16). This Commandment is crucial to everyone who believes in God and studies the Bible. It applies to all forms of lying. If it is impossible for God to lie, why does everyone do it? The article titled, “Moral Truth” by All About Philosophy, explains how people's morals come into play when telling a lie. Everyone is entitled to their own morals, whether it is right or wrong, but the truth is something definite. With lying, you either did it or you did not. This is where moral truth comes into play. The Crucible by Arthur Miller was a fiction play, loosely based on events that happened during the Salem Witch Trials in Salem, Massachusetts
