I find the book online and I read this: Thus not all will agree with my proposal that the Diaspora uprising of 115–117 and the Judean revolt of 132–135 should both be understood within this context, in both cases directly relating to the frustrated desire of Jews to see their Temple rebuilt so that ...

There is a recent book of Jewish scholars against the (likely Christian) myth of 70 CE as fateful historical caesura in the eyes of contemporaries (or something of similar). http://booksandjournals.brillonline.com/content/journals/10.1163/15700631-12340089 I dont' have the book linked above, but I r...

1) prima facie, to be not more able to do sacrifice in Temple. A technical inability. Not really grave. 2) secunda facie, in the light of the great disasters that followed in 115-117 CE and in 135 CE : no longer be able to obey God.

In Nietzschean terms, behind any myth of innocence there is always a Will to Power, but the unique Will to Power that I am able to see in this case is only the radical c...

There was no John the Baptist narrative in the Gospel of Marcion but all our canonical gospels have it. About John the Baptist in Mcn, I signal this: http://sgwau2cbeginnings.blogspot.it/2015/03/john-baptist-from-marcionite-to.html the narrators of Luke, Marcion or Ur-Luke do not understand the sat...

I know another 'little one' and he was no named John, even if he was named Paraclete.

I think to understand where you would like come up. To the conclusion that the docetists were represented by Catholics as if they were dangerous criminals ''deniers'' of the one true God - Satanists - when in fact those docetists held views more accommodating and less radical, less anti-Semitic, ind...
