Early Writings Error

On the main page of 'Early Writings' you place the Talmud c. 217 CE. I think you mean the Mishnah

Re: Jerome on Galatians 3:6-9 (about Abraham)

Hurray! In the future I think Schmid's Marcion und Sein Apostolos would likely have the original reference.

Re: Does Cephas mean a "pointed rock"?

I noticed this in Ben Witherington, hardly a hater of Christianity: As J. R. Mantey has ably demonstrated, there is no known example in contemporary Greek literature where petra means the same thing as petros. A petros is a small stone or piece of a rock, but a petra is by contrast a ledge or shelf ...

Re: The Strategy for Mythicists Going Forward

MrMacSon - if they 'moved away' from Judaism they began as Jews or proselytes. So what I say applies. Tenorikuma - that might apply for 'Christ' but not 'the Christ.'

Re: Does Cephas mean a "pointed rock"?

In fairness, in some editions the physical 'front' of the book says only 'A Dictionary of Jewish Palestinian Aramaic.'
