Re: Implications of Marcion for early Christianity?

I think that " doubtless " in the Jesus's answer is a strong clue pointing to an explanation found inside the story itself of the gospel of Luke, not assumed a priori external to that gospel (i.e. possibly in Mark). " Doubtless " in Jesus's answer explains also why *Ev were to c...

Re: Implications of Marcion for early Christianity?

Still, if 4:14 is the antecedent, it refers to power in a lot of places--all over Galilee, and the surrounding areas. When Jesus says "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’ ” -- how can Jesu...

Re: Gospel priority

The text of the Evangelion would seem to be too uncertain for [the technique of fatigue to be applicable] There might be one example of where fatigue would be applicable. Exact wording is for the most part hard to nail down, but the order of events is a bit more tractable. And in the instant case T...

Re: Paul's use of or references to 'gospel'

Paul apparently used the term “gospel” ~60 times. He is said to use the possessive, “my/our gospel,” six times (one of which is in the pastoral 2 Tim. 2:8). He uses the definitive, “the gospel”, ~27 times. In addition, he uses terms such as “ the gospel of Christ ” (eg. Rom. 15:19) and “ gospel of ...

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

Thanks for sharing the additional images and asking questions on the subject of ligatures. I'm not able to comment on the ligature subject without further study. I'm okay with bracketing the ligature stuff and the accent stuff as beyond my paygrade currently and inconclusive, respectively. I am not...

Re: Gospel priority

I'm not wanting to dispense with the theory of fatigue at all, it's simple. We get a list of the examples of fatigue Then someone explains how they best show Markan priority which Goodacre has done Agreed. Then someone else explains how they best show Evangelion/Lukan priority Not agreed. First, it...

Re: Gospel priority

I had lunch with Mark Goodacre yesterday and we talked about John and the synoptics, which is what he is currently working on. I’m been waiting for this book for more than 4 years now. It was planned to be released in 2021 :D I liked his article : John's Use of Matthean/Lukan Redaction of Mark – Ma...

Re: Gospel priority

ok, this is the alternative explanation: * Thomas or something like it (I'm generous) is original * Ev which precedes Luke wishes to incorporate the pre-existing parables (which must precede the writing of Ev in any case) * Ev lacked the interpretation of the parable originally, the interpretation ...

Re: Do all Roads Lead to Eusebius: Antiquities 20.200

4) The theory I am proposing is that Eusebius, who was looking for a passage in his manuscript of the Antiquities for the passage about James that Origen was talking about, found Antiquities 20.200, and glossed it with the identifier 'the brother of Jesus who was called Christ" which he had fo...
