Re: The Catamites of Tiberius?
Hmmm, It was Herod Agrippa who was a child "hostage" in Rome. Most if not all of Herod's children were shipped to Rome for their "education" but they were also pawns to be used if Herod was killed. These all lived quite different lives from one another, as temperament and ability...

Re: The Catamites of Tiberius?
OOOOhhhh-Kay ... Are you saying that Philo's Therapeutae were running an escort service for pedophiles and hebephiles? Seriously? A while back I offered my amateurish literary analysis and segregated the narrative between Philo's personal(?) notebook entries while attending their meetings, hearing t...

Re: Marcion saute
Publisher.At some point, someone decided to go to a higher organizational level to divide the tasks in the project. He substantively distributed responsibilities and authorities to ensure the best possible effectiveness of the organization at every level. This is how the publisher emerged. The Gosp...

Unitarians are not predisposed to defending mainstream ideas, so I liked his appro...

Stephen, I think there were some widespread fears when the DSS first started to slowly reach publication, maybe a little before, that folks were making rash interpretations to identify Jesus within the array of names mentioned in the sectarian scrolls. I always thought this was due to the common bel...

Re: Two Powers in Heaven
Hello andrew, Yes, not only are the Ps Dionysian mystics of a later age, but so also the Merkabah books as they stand are probably as late or later, and already showing signs of decadence (so no longer a thriving tradition) at time they were edited into their final form. I'm only stating that folks ...

Re: Was Paul Marcion (in part, at least)?
One of the other threads here, about the unique POV of Michael Conley, Peter K provided Wayback links to several essays by him that he used to post on his web site. One of them speaks of Peter, Paul and Ignatius, as inventions by 2nd century church fathers who were intent on undermining the Roman em...
