Re: Comments on Handwriting Analysis and the Mar Saba Letter
IMHO not enough weight is being given to some of the specific claims made by Tselikas. See particularly palaeographic-observations-2 where Tselikas lists the unusual pattern of pen movements used in writing the letter. IMVHO there is a general tendency in that the writer is not using cursive to writ...

Re: Greek Monks Who Thought the Letter to Theodore was in the Mar Saba Monastery Before Morton Smith Arrives
There is, so far, no evidence that Smith mentioned "Secret Mark" to any monk in 1958 or 1959. Morton Smith says on p.18 of Secret Gospel that the idea of him suppressing this controversial discovery was ruled out because he had already spoken to Scholem. This may imply that he had only sp...

Re: Greek Monks Who Thought the Letter to Theodore was in the Mar Saba Monastery Before Morton Smith Arrives
According to Smith and Landau. Morton Smith said that he realized at Mar Saba that he had discovered a previously unknown letter of Clement against the Carpocratians. He took careful photographs which he only properly studied after leaving Palestine and arriving at Athens. This account makes it unl...

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"
I made an earlier post in a similar thread here To paraphrase: Tselikas did not strictly speaking establish that the handwriting is later than the 18th century, What Tselikas did claim to establish is that although the handwriting is in one sense an 18th century Greek cursive, the scribe is not writ...

Re: The Antitheses and the origin of Luke
It's one thing for Marcion to say 'this was the original, that was an interpolation' when he does not know. It's another thing if Marcion originated the gospel text and wanted it to be accepted. In that case, transparency is unexpected. IMHO Marcion explicitly presented his Gospel text as a critica...

Re: Origen's interesting ideas
I think that Origen believed that we can discover the hidden meaning of a Gospel narrative or parable by comparing the different versions of the same pericope found in the 4 canonical Gospels.

Re: Is 'called Christ' in Ant 20:200 a Christian gloss just as 'born by woman' is a Catholic gloss in Gal 4:4?
According to Paul, Jesus became Son of God at the resurrection . Christians can inherit the mantle via adoption. That would be true whether Jesus was pre-existent or not. I kinda don't get it. Hanging around at creation but not the Son? marcellus of ancyra probably taught that the word or logos of ...
