Some argue that Eusebius used Julius Africanus as a source for his list of Bishops of Alexandria.

The Odes of Solomon may have passages directed against Marcion and may be using Tatian's diatessaron.

Where is the Ben's reconstruction of the marcionite gospel according to Roth et alia ?

Is the verse 8 found there?

It is not clear whether verse 8 is present.

My only comment is I think Fish was added to the story, not original. I am highly sympathetic to such an analysis: In both of the multiplication miracles, the bread seems to be more important than the fish. It is in both cases the bread that is called for at the beginning of the pericope, and the f...

Why is it more believable that Peregrinus was never a Christian than Peregrinus was wholly made up? I see them as equally likely. We have other evidence for the existence of Peregrinus e.g. Aulus Gellius, Lucian is our only source for the association of Peregrinus with the Christians. Andrew Criddle

I'm arguing here for a possible position that I do not regard as probable. However, I'll try and clarify my earlier post.

He came to the world by the Jordan river, and immediately the Jordan turned back. And John bore witness to the descent o...

Aulus Gellius actually knew and conversed with Peregrinus while he was in Athens. That alone--unless you want to say Aulus Gellius's book is a forgery--is proof against your claim that Peregrinus is a fiction. Athenagoras isn't relying on Lucian, and writes that there ware statues of Peregrinus at ...

I'm not sure that a date of death for John the Baptist later than Jesus necessarily dissociates John and Jesus. There is a possible scenario in which a/ John is baptizing b/ Jesus is baptized by John c/ John is arrested by Herod d/ Jesus preaches heals and has debates with the followers of the impri...
