Clearly, the game has changed. Whereas those in search of the historical
Jesus have previously been accustomed to looking for their most-wanted man somewhere near the intersection of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, a new line of scholarship has appeared on the scene and, finding the Synoptic witness as giving us too little to go on, are turning to other haunts. If Jesus was to be seen anywhere, it is presumed, he would most likely not be caught dead (much less resurrected) in the neighborhood of the Synoptics. Instead, we would do best to look for Jesus in the earliest strata somewhere closer to the vicinity of Thomas and Q street.

Of course, the successful retroversion of isolated logia into Syriac proves
little about the origins of the entire collection known to us today as the Gospel of Thomas. Whatever the genesis of assorted discrete sayings, evidence for the linguistic character of individual logia does not necessarily enable us to speak to the background of the whole composition. Nevertheless, when there is an accumulation of logia that can be located within a Syriac-speaking setting, the question naturally arises as to whether the Syriac-character of the sayings is not merely the exception, but the rule.
