Klinghardt, Matthias. The Oldest Gospel: A Missing Link in New Testament Scholarship, Kindle Edition. Looks like Jason BeDuhn also has "Nazara". Things that make you go "hmmm....." Perhaps Ben Smith can opine here? Or vocasante, if you've got the big ears on? 04","16&q...

[ Nazara entered the Jesus tradition before Nazareth did. FWIW Marcion's Evangelion (which is our earliest witness to the text of Luke) has "Nazareth", not "Nazara". Tertullian doesn't note a difference in place name with his copy of Luke. Matthias Klinghardt, in The Oldest Gosp...

Richard Carrier's book, Jesus from Outer Space , has been released in Polish and Greek. My popular market summary of my academic study of Jesus, Jesus from Outer Space, is now available in Greek and Polish translations. Follow the links for details and to buy one. These are not available in the Amer...

And Josephus - based on ?. OK, I'll take a guess - pure speculation of course - Agrippa II. How do you do it, maryhelena? Secret Alias wrote a "...silly little book" [His words...] on A-II and HE didn't get it. Everyone, please look at "The Baptism of John" and "The Baptism...

A few of my posts to the Goodacre blog re the debate with Carrier.........how time flies. maryhel...

You don't know which Semitic source lies behind the Greek (in its various forms) and you can't show that - in its earliest usage - Ναζαρενος was a gentilic rather than an epithet (though you've assumed the former [ABD]). You might benefit from F.C. Burkitt's "Syriac Forms of New Testament Prop...

What are the arguments pertaining to Evangelion? Well, here's a start. I'd preface this by saying this is all very provisional. I reserve the right to be wrong. Its just a few hours worth of work: doing a good job would take at least a year....so any help improving or disproving this is welcome. To...

1 Timothy 3-4, even if a Catholic epistle, is still reluctant to accept the genealogies found in the incipit of Matthew and Canonical Luke. 3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 or to devot...
