Packet 6: Tossup 16

Description acceptable. 105 passages thought to have this quality were translated by Guy Davenport and Benjamin Urrutia. Scholars used colored beads to vote on whether passages (10[1])had this quality (10[2])in a namesake 1990s seminar led by Robert Funk. Passages thought to have different degrees of this quality (-5[1])are labeled “ipsissima vox” (-5[1])or “ipsissima verba.” (10[1]-5[2])J. G. Körner (“KER-ner”) coined the term agrapha for passages that purport to have this quality, such as those in Papyrus Oxyrhynchus (10[1])I and the claim in Acts that it is better (10[1])to give than receive. (10[1])The similarity of passages purporting to have this quality in Matthew and Luke inspired the Q Source hypothesis. (10[2]-5[4])In New Testament scholarship, this quality defines logia and dominical words, which are (10[1])printed in color (10[1])in red-letter Bibles. For 10 points, give this quality of sayings attributed to the subject of Albert Schweitzer’s “historical” (10[3])quest. (10[1])■END■ (10[5]0[1])
