nor any such exaggerated 'antagonistic rivalry' as portrayed above. no, "to be scandalized" in a religious way required very often stoning in the Antiquity. So it is a verse that supports precisely a sense of 'exaggerated antagonistic rivalry'. The price for John the Baptist's "scand...

On facebook I have written this post: https://www.facebook.com/groups/212992206399733/permalink/1018115149220764/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v (Analyzing the relative discussion) I am seriously embarrassed by the way some Christian scholars are visibly disturbed by the fact that in the Evangelion ther...

So it seems to me that this dig against John is referring to something external to Evangelion, something which presented John differently, presenting John as a forerunner to Jesus. Based on our knowledge of the synoptic gospels, the most obvious candidate here is Mark (especially if we view Luke, M...

I have to assume that you are being purposely obtuse as no one can possibly be as dense as you pretend to be and still be able to read and write in English. That may be a wee bit polemical. The point is verifiable . You can check the Hebrew English interlinear text on Biblehub, which shows the Hebr...

Does that suggest that John the Baptist was a forerunner for Jesus? that link is not the recent reconstruction of the Evangelion made by Klinghardt.

But those are relatively minor compared to what I regard as the major claim he makes in the paper: It...

The first thing I'd like to point out is that Garrow's new thesis on ancient author using a 'frame and fill' method seems to conflict with the thesis he previously put forward on 'scroll users' versus 'codex users'. Here is what wrote about Josephus in the 'Frame and Fill' paper (2022): 2. Josephus ...
