Re: Couchoud's 'Is Marcion's Gospel One of the Synoptics?'

Do you know if there are any Evangelion-Mark readings not found in Luke which are also not found in Mattthew? Or are all known Evangelion-Mark vs. Luke readings also Evangelion-Mark-Matthew vs. Luke readings? I haven't yet found a reference to unique Mark material, but there's also very little of i...

Re: Couchoud's 'Is Marcion's Gospel One of the Synoptics?'

And it seems Loisy thought that Origen thought Marcion alluded to the sons of Zebedee pericope. No, you missed the distinction between what Marcion himself may have written in the Evangelion and what later Marcionites may have written about Marcion. Andrew Criddle and Peter Kirby have discussed the...

P69, also known as P. Oxy. 2383, is sometimes viewed as part of a copy of Marcion's text.

This can't be proven either way.

Re: Facebook group dedicated to old Greek handwriting

Since you're interested in this stuff, Randy... in Smith and Landau, p. 112, they cite Dr. Panagiotis Agapitos, who referred to the "fluid, cursive style of private hands" and clarified that it is not the kind of writing seen in the setting of professional copying of manuscripts by hand. D...

Re: Implications of Marcion for early Christianity?

PS do you really believe Jesus is coming back? No. Then why do you say things like “when Jesus comes back he’s going to ….” It’s really confusing. Maybe because you said "The new God which Jesus taught us about loves and accepts everyone"[*]? John2 basically just gave you Tertullian's ref...

Randy: I have also noticed a grid of dots in the bitmap image that I am unable to see in The Fourth R pdf, which I have also shared with you and Ken. I don't know when and how it was introduced, but I agree that it's not original.

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?

I just want to cite Paananen and Viklund again because it seems they also think it's a sigma Yes, that's what they wrote. I like Panaanen and Viklund, and they made some good points, which I have quoted. If nothing else, however, this thread justifies moving beyond just citing this claim. Viklund o...

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?

If I knew nothing else about The Letter to Theodore and you had sent me images of the three pages and asked me what the word in dispute on III 18 is, I would almost certainly have said it was γυμνοί with a final Iota because one of basic rules of Greek is that accents go over vowels. That's the qui...
