I would have to re-read the paper to be sure, but IIRC, Cook overplays his hand in eliding the difference between what Paul would have thought or expected to have happened and what he had an tradition that says this had happened. On the basis of the semantics of ἀνίστημι and ἐγείρω and the nature of...

Ben Smith's compilation of Luke-Evangelion overlaps together with the witnesses that attest to the Marcionite readings marks Marcionite readings that differ from the known text of Luke in blue boldface underline. Words or phrases attested as present in Marcion but either absent from or rendered diff...

Personally I intended to revisit the question after doing a synopsis based on my own particular approach. I am looking forward to seeing more of your synopsis and the Mark-Ev*-Luke theory (if that is still what you hold). I think your giving more credence to Epiphanius than Tertullian is probably a...

We only need to think the author of Luke knew that and intended it as a back reference to Luke 4.14-15. you are placing emphasis on the knowledge of background by the author , but I am pointing out the complete ignorance of the gentile readers . The latter could have read a different name from Cape...

What's the rest of the argument? are you asking me to wrote an entire book as K has done recently? Or are you asking me the resume of another book of my knowledge arguing a similar thesis? This is a forum and I mean to post something as my interest goes. In this specific case, I think to have detec...

Giuseppe: Could you present a sound argument for the conclusion that *Ev precedes Luke? I mean an argument in which true premises are carried through a series of truth-preserving logical deductions to a true conclusion. You seem to have one two premises so far: 1) Luke's gospel was directed primaril...

The Damascus or Zadokite Work was written before the time of Jesus. Right. Let me rephrase the question: Misdating Jesus to Jannaeus' era may be due to a confusion of Jesus with the Qumran Teacher of Righteousness... Could you identify who has misdated Jesus to the era of Jannaeus, and cite where h...

I suggest this may additionally be relevant to the misdating of Jesus to the time of Jannaeus. The question I'm really interested in is: what passages from The Talmud (or Toledot) that have been taken to refer to Jesus (the Christian Jesus) might be plausibly explained as (originally?) referring to...
