An academic connected with the project could apply for a grant in the United Kingdom to further the work... no?
Perhaps it could still cost more than a grant would provide, but that'd seem to be the place to start (along with a cost estimate).

Re: How many Christians ?
It may be instructive to look at new religious movements closer in time to our own. Mormonism for example started less than two hundred years ago and reports some 16,000,000 members. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soka_Gakkai The movement was founded by educators Makiguchi and Toda in 1930, but not f...

Re: Justin's Use of a 'Super Gospel' Passed on to Tertullian
Proper academics prefer to use the strategic non-citation or casual dismissal -- but, without your own published work, you can't even expect that much. Someone like Richard Carrier basically has earned the right to be cited unapprovingly in obscure footnotes for the next 20 years and then forgotten....

Re: Markan priority: an "assured result of modern criticism"
You're going for one too many layers of doubt with "supposed consensus." Using the scare quotes indicates that you do not really agree that it is just a "supposed consensus" and, for example, believe that it's just a plain consensus. You could more appropriately use "consens...

"Luke" wanted early Christianity to appear democratic?
I was just reading up on this. Turns out, my rudimentary western education on the meaning and origins of democracy dramatically under-emphasized a radical shift away from the practices more common in ancient Greece and medieval Italy, compared to parliamentary England and most modern democracies. Sp...

Re: Peter, Your Date for 'the Talmud' at earlychristiansausa
A perfectly neat solution is difficult to find. The subject is the Talmud, not the Mishnah. The date of the Talmud's written composition is well outside the scope of the website. The date of the oral transmission of the material is both difficult to say and covers a long period of time, both before ...

Re: Apollinarius of Laodicea, Papias, and the death of Judas
Always read the fine print... These are "hypothetical fragments." One is a quote from Eusebius, and the other is from Victor of Capua ("Pseudo-Polycarp"). http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/polycarp_fragments_01_text.htm Any connection to Papias is, at best, "hypothetical.&qu...

Re: Peter, Your Date for 'the Talmud' at earlychristiansausa
It's metaphorical. Otherwise it'd have to be removed from the website canon for being too late in date, and that would be blasphemy. I say late third century That might work, actually. That's still before 325, the new terminus for the website (the old one was 200). What happened in the late third ce...
