``This is a very learned, thoughtful, meticulous work of scholarship that adds a novel alternative to the various theories on the sources and composition histories of the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Thomas, the latter especially. The N hypothesis will be provocative in the best sense; it will provoke debate, surely criticism, scholarly re-thinking of how to account for the composition of the Gospel of Thomas, still a front of hyper-activity in scholarship on early Christianity and its literature.'' -- Willi Braun, University of Alberta, editor of[http://www.wlupress.wlu.ca/Catalog/braun.shtml Rhetoric andReality in Early Christianities] (WLU Press, 2005) -- 201101
