Testimonies about Hebrew Origins of the Gospel Tradition are dating back to the earliest centuries of church history.

scholars from quite diverse backgrounds have developed alternative approaches which use Hebrew language as a tool for Gospel studies and which may shed new light on the old question of Hebrew Gospel
origins.
