Re: Atwill on Carrier, PhD from 2013
Iskander- Here's 2 to start. The problem with the phrase, "It's Symbolic" is the accurate determination of what the Symbol is in relation to the Story given, especially when the Story appears to be a "Real" Story. "What is the meaning of the White Whale in Moby Dick ?" ...

Re: Atwill on Carrier, PhD from 2013
Charles, someone asked , Is the Mohammed story derived from the Jesus story? There exists (Supposedly) a religious Relic, a letter from Flavius Constantinus Heraclius. The Cant that describes the events surrounding this letter is that Heraclius was "shoring up" support for the Empire on t...

It appears that you do not know how to act respectfully on this Board. The questions you ask are easily answered. How about behaving in a scholarly man...

Who is Paul Youman? Go to Peshitta.org and find out. Why does he follow George Lamsa? He doesn't. What is the evidence for this transliteration? Read the Sites or ask them. Why is his translation different from the 1905 one? Read the Sites or ask them. Why is his translation different from Etheridg...
