Re: Does ransom theory indicate Jesus was heavenly?
One frequently co-occuring component of the ransom myth is that the Son of God was killed without awareness of his true identity, which does fit quite nicely into the idea of appearing as a man among men.

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
If there's something specific you're seeing here, you haven't explained. Hmmm...I've got to get better at remembering not to forget to put down what I'm thinking.... Well, as I understand it, the ambiguity is in determining whether the word ends in -αι or in -ας. The leftmost picture turns all of t...

Forget about what he said, remember what I said :-) the blue rectangles are covering up exactly the pixels we need to decide this case. To illustrate, i've put the original clip next to (on the left) a copy where the blue pixels are replaced by the background color, and on the right, a copy where t...

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?
I think, for someone, the I.2 character could look prima facie as -αι. Do you guys have some better digitizations that we don't? Because the very fact that we cannot reach consensus on these issues proves to me that the photographs we've seen so far are too noisy to be of much use. I can think of o...

Re: Rome and early Christianity
The Latin Prologue in Colmar 38 and Berlin 40 139 riffs on this in a neat way: Mark, the evangelist of God, disciple, and interpreter of the apostle Peter, as he had heard the apostle Peter reporting, wrote a short gospel, requested by Roman brothers who, not satisfied with having heard once about t...

Re: Rome and early Christianity
Jerome seems to have thought that Philo could have had some contact with early Christianity (apparently thinking of the references to the Therapeutae and interpreting them as such). https://web.archive.org/web/20070224051313/http://www.textexcavation.com/gospelorigins.html#jerome Mark, disciple and ...
