One may use the priority of *Ev over the Canonical Gospels to conclude that the Apostolikon is more faithful to the original version of the Pauline epistles than the canonical corpus. Or one may conclude, if he/she is already persuaded independently that the Apostolikon precedes the canonical corpus...

Look at Thomas is a naive euphemism to say: look at visions, revelations, dreams, hallucinations, etc. I am interested to the gospels. I think that the logical implication by Roger Parvus's view has to be the following chronology: short notes by Paul ---> wide Satornilian and Cerdonite interpolation...

https://www.richardcarrier.info/archives/27782 His approach resembles a creative reinterpretation of the Zapruder film in which rampaging apes must have been in frame and secretly removed because Kubrick liked them and Kubrick and Zapruder are both from the 1960s and the CIA can do things like that....

My vote for authorship of proto-Mark would go to Basilides. But for the interpolation of Paul’s letters (with Saturnilian materials) and the authorship of proto-Luke I would vote for Cerdo. Accordingly are you breaking the continuity between the interpolators of Paul's letters (with Saturnilian mat...

Alvar Ellegard agrees with Reinach contra Kirby and Carrier about the interpretation of Ignatius: There are also general considerations in favour of placing the Gospels well into the second century CE. If the picture of Jesus that they give had been generally current, it is hard to understand why Ig...

As a dedicated Paulinist, Mark would have known, at least approximately, when Paul wrote his letters. Very a strange Paulinist, one who believes that Jesus was born "by woman" (I assume that the bit in Gal 4:4 is an anti-Marcionite interpolation). Apart that, I would agree with you on all...

it seems that, insofar you use these words, you are unaware of the best cases against the authenticity of all the pauline epistles. I mean: the radical critics, Detering, Price. I do n't mean Bruno Bauer, even if he is the first of the radical critics. I am not saying that they are right. I am sayi...

I have found the answer by the greatest of the radical critics: Van Manen . Van Manen is a perfect precursor of Matthias Klinghardt when the former described the Earliest Gospel in the following terms: As for their origin, the Gospels, on close comparison, point us back to (i.) an «oldest» written g...

thus to say the Simonians were involved in the composition of the original epistles becomes: a corrupted form of the Simonians were involved in the composition which becomes: a corruption of something original created the epistles it seems that, insofar you use these words, you are unaware of the b...

Does the answer to your question really matter? I think it would matter to mythicists (as probably Sinouhe) who think that the author of the first gospel had to invent the entire Jesus's biography ex nihilo , including the date under Pilate. Even starting with the date itself. I think that it doesn'...
