Re: Further evidence that Ignatius faced old deniers of the historicity of Jesus

Giuseppe wrote: Mon Mar 25, 2024 9:42 pm Why is this important (replying to Joseph D L)? Because I am tired to hear the apologetical motive that none doubted about the historicity of Jesus in the Antiquity.

Re: Mark's dependence on Luke

Please explain how Ben's thread presents "really clear arguments of Luke preceding Mark." Presumptions of reader knowledge in Mark. That reader knowledge is material in Luke's Gospel. Ockham says the simplest explanation is the best, Luke was being read by readers now reading Mark. Sure, ...

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?

Venetia Anastasapoulou writes on p.12 of her report, which I imagine you have, if not I can post the page): That could be helpful. Thanks! I would also benefit from having a better photograph.

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?

Let me say again that I am no expert and can bring only an eye for detail and an attempt to understand what I'm seeing. With regard to the final sigmas on these lines: https://akma.disseminary.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/SecretMark.pdf 10 Ἰησοῦς τὸ µυστήριον τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ. Ἐκεῖθεν δὲ ἀνα...

Re: Further evidence that Ignatius faced old deniers of the historicity of Jesus

Please be moderate in your rhetoric. All due respect to DCH, I don't really care. I have already given evidence of Josephus using this language to describe Jewish holy books, and so have other scholars. So the point is over. Your only evidence is a mere mention of Josephus: " Additionally, we h...

Re: Further evidence that Ignatius faced old deniers of the historicity of Jesus

I don't know what you mean That's fair, but I don't have unlimited time. Please start by reviewing everything I've already written again, carefully. I found this reference from Sextus Julius Africanus. Sextus Julius Africanus Hist. (c. A.D. 2-3), Epistula ad Aristidem (2956: 004) “Die Briefe des Se...

Re: Further evidence that Ignatius faced old deniers of the historicity of Jesus

Do you think that the archives are not the "Old Testament" but the Jewish scriptures ? No. Here you have fallen into the same error as Reinach of misrepresenting what you're reading. in whiletime you have not answered to my question: please show an example of a holy Jewish book that doesn...
