Re: Markan Marcion: A Contrarian Synopsis
In the third passion prediction, we can recover the likely wording of Evangelion on analogy with Mark and with reference to the resurrection narrative, which refers back to the passion predictions, as quoted by Epiphanius: He falsified what Christ said to Cleopas and the other when he met them, “O ...

R.I.P. Theodore Weeden (July 8, 1933 - April 2, 2023)
I have only just leaned that Ted Weeden, whose name has come up on this forum a few times in various contexts, passed away earlier this year (April 2, 2023). https://www.crawfordfuneralhome.com/obituary/RevDrTheodoreTed-Weeden?fbclid=IwAR2BQ91zdbDzdrqOhSGl4haoGvFGxDq_xMp6y3ZLsQorE6oXTFwis58u-9g Best...

Re: My Strongest Argument Marcion WASN'T First
This is interesting and I'd like to pose a related question. While we can find Marcionite claims that the text of the canonical Gospel contained interpolations by Judaizers, is it clearly stated anywhere in an ancient source that Marcion claimed to have found an uninterpolated copy of the Gospel (a...

Re: A baptism of Jesus by John that is NOT anti-marcionite, but PRE-Marcionite
Could you cite the pages in Klinghardt that Vinzent is talking about here? I imagine Vinzent cites them. Vinzent quotes directly Klinghardt, but the references (p. 374-375) are to the German version from 2015: The terminus ante quem is derived from the patristic attestation of the Gospels in their ...

Re: A baptism of Jesus by John that is NOT anti-marcionite, but PRE-Marcionite
Now that I remember, possibly I have been partially "influenced" by this passage: Thus, even though Klinghardt makes a good argument that the compilation of texts known as the New Testament was already known to Justin, and perhaps even to Marcion, it is only from Irenaeus onward that the ...

Re: My Strongest Argument Marcion WASN'T First
According to Tertullian, a letter from Marcion shows that Marcion initially followed the proto-orthodox position, before creating his own version. That means Marcion's Gospel wasn't the first: http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/tertullian121.html Marcion has quenched the light of his faith,...

Re: A structured approach to the synoptic problem as a question of four documents including *Ev
I have a question about the three Passion Predictions in the Synoptics and how the work on Klinghardt’s theory that *Ev was prior to Mark. Three Passion Predictions.png On the three principal Markan priority theories (2DH, Farrer, MPH), Mark is first and has the three Passion Predictions grouped fai...

Does anyone have access to M. Vermes' translation of the Acta Archelai?
Does anyone have access to this: Hegemonius, Acta Archelai (Manichean Studies 4; Brepols, 2001) English translation by Mark Vermes, based on Charles Henry Beeson’s critical edition. I have Beeson, Hegemonius, Acta Archelai (GCS, 1906), but the nearest library I know of that has Vermes' English trans...

What is the Talmud?
There are various different versions of this story online (you can google it). In some versions the questioner is a Jewish student, and in others a Christian, or even a Bishop. In some versions the men who come down the chimney are burglars rather than chimney sweeps. I'm attempting to tell it the ...
