Re: Q trajectory -- how realistic?
My antipathy to Kloppenborg and his clone Burton L. Mack (The Lost Gospel: The Book of Q & Christian Origins, 1993) is to the shoddiness of their demarcation criteria, not to the Q1 vs. Q2 division itself. They're satisfied with facile ideological preconceptions, ignoring the obvious difference...

Re: Geographical accuracy as a pointer to synoptic priority
From another thread (the one about Kartgraphy): If you look at the map below you can see that Gerasa is 30 miles south southeast of the lake. That's a pretty big jump for those pigs. There is also no 30 mile long embankment running down from Gerasa to the lake. Matthew recognized Mark's blunder and...

Re: Ignatius: Crazy Man or Crazy editors?
As far as I know I am the only person who has ever suggested the Syriac was near original. I think there was one additional layer likely written in Syriac. I think that was the original layer and then the Syriac and then the short Greek and then the longer Greek. ... I hope you agree that there is ...

Re: Ignatius: Crazy Man or Crazy editors?
Another fine example of "Ignatius'" craziness. This time it is Magnesians. After spending a day or so on this, I am ready for some Milk of Magnesia(tm). There is no Syriac version. Seems I have irritated my gums due to overzealous water picking of food from between my teeth, so I was not u...

Re: "myths and endless genealogies"
From... 1 Timothy 1:3... the admonition is to ignore such things... to what is it referring if not the major synoptics? 1 Timothy 1:3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine , 4 nor to occupy themselves ...

Re: Is Nefertiti in King Tut's Tomb?
Don't be silly. Everyone knows that Mob connected Union official Jimmy Hoffa is buried in King Nefertiti's tomb. As an earlier researcher once noted, there are trace elements from the decomposition of cocaine in the mummy of big daddy, PROVING aliens had been operating a ferry between Egypt and Sout...

Re: Ignatius: Crazy Man or Crazy editors?
I play around with the wording of my posts, trying to inject a little humor on subjects that are usually rather dry and tedious, but to be serious for a moment my interest is in seeing if a comparison might help enhance study of possible textual interpolations of the Paulines, or even the synoptic ...

Re: Ignatius: Crazy Man or Crazy editors?
I spent the weekend locating the shorter and longer Unicode Greek texts of Ignatius, in Bibleworks 8 (shorter Greek text) and online (both shorter and longer are there if you look reeeealy hard, seemingly based on Migne's reprint edition), along with the English translations of the shorter, longer ...

Re: Dating of genuine Pauline epistles
FWIW, Here are the widely varying orderings of 9 respected scholars (I selfishly snuck myself in as the 10th, although unrespected, "scholar"): Book [/b] Schaff [/b] Zahn [/b] Alford [/b] Bagster [/b] Conybeare & Howson [/b] Lewin [/b] Farrar [/b] Harman [/b] Mitchell [/b] Hindley [/b]...
