mlinnsen,

I have a theory on when and why James came to be called the Just that I posted on the list some time back:

Mark 3.19, "and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him," or "handed him over," is one of those little notes that look like it was meant for someone who already knows that Jesus was betrayed or handed over. Additionally, I think the apostolic list in Mark 3.16-19 is tacked on at this point in the gos...

There was a story of Judas before our canonical version of Mark , of that I am certain. But your view of Mark and mine are very different right from the start. Ben, What makes the existence of a pre-Markan Judas story certain (or extremely probable)? (Apologies if you covered that earlier in this t...

Thanks, David. I've occasionally seen discussions of the Testimonium on Reddit, but I don't follow it closely, so they're usually closed long before I see them. I think I commented on on once, on the difference between my theory that Eusebius composed the Testimonium and Carrier's theory that it was...

Thanks, David. When you've posted your Reddit post, would you link to it here? I'd be interested in seeing it.

Best,

Ken

I think that what you just bolded was meant for you to respond to, Bernard. If not meant to mean you

"Luke" used the phrase at the birth of Jesus but "Matthew" put it well before that. [snipped] Magi and shepherds close the scene by returning whence they...

Probably not superior, but, at least equal. Sticking to just the Parable of the Mustard Seed again, I see two problems with your claim: First, we don't assume lost sources on the basis that they provide equally good explanations as sources we actually have. They have to be better. (Hypothetical sou...

to Ken Olson, What makes your theory better than mine? With my theory, I don't have to contend with the huge differences between L and M material (including within the nativity and reappearances stories). However if "Luke" had (complete) gMatthew, these huge differences need to be explained. Theref...

If we have gMark-->Q-->GLuke & GMatthew, with Q author making changes from GMark, that would explain and solve the problem. For more about my definition of Q, consult: http://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7280&p=113705&hilit=the+most+popular#p113705 There are any number of ways that t...
