Re: Further evidence that Ignatius faced old deniers of the historicity of Jesus
William R. Schoedel suggests that Ignatius had difficulty refuting his opponents solely from the OT ( Ignatius of Antioch , p. 209): ... it is still a challenge to the bishop's assertion that he can find what he wants in the OT. Evidently he was having difficulty in establishing his point from that...

Re: Further evidence that Ignatius faced old deniers of the historicity of Jesus
Hey Joseph, Glad to see you back! I think what Giuseppe has in mind is this passage in The Epistle to the Tarsians: Chapter III.—The true doctrine respecting Christ. Mindful of him, do ye by all means know that Jesus the Lord was truly born of Mary , being made of a woman; and was as truly crucifie...

Added 3rd Philo source to citations about Judean sects
Well, I hate to add to perfection itself (uh huh) but I was formerly relying on De Jonge for my Philo citations. De Jonge does not include a translation of a work of Philo known as Hypothetica (aka Apology for the Jews), as this is preserved only as a citation of Philo in Preparation for the Gospel....

Re: Further evidence that Ignatius faced old deniers of the historicity of Jesus
Part of my problem is that I do not read Carrier, at all. Someone had cited the letter to the Tarsians in an earlier post, so I thought that might be it. According to my analysis of this epistle (posted several years ago) to the Philadelphians: 8.2) And I exhort you to do nothing out of strife, but ...

Re: The Legend of James the Just and His Martyrdom
Going back to Hegesippus' Hebrew or Aramaic skills, the Hebrew word that Eusebius claims Hegesippus paraphrased as " Oblias " (ὠβλίας), would appear to be the Hebrew verb " יָבַל " ( yabal ) to bring, carry, lead, conduct. The Greek word I'd expect would be ὁδηγήσει ( hodegesei )...

Re: The Legend of James the Just and His Martyrdom

Re: Gospel priority
Ken, I'm afraid I will have to decline to continue this discussion. ... The intensity level of posts about Synoptic Problem, especially Q, is why I have never liked the tenor of Synoptic studies.
