Re: Debut of Chester Beatty Papyri images online

Unfortunately, the detailed views do not work. Go ahead, chick on one.

Re: Paul's Imprisonments

Solo, You may very well be correct. Another perspective, from my personal experience, comes from when I was experiencing blood sugar problems several years ago. One phenomenon I remember experiencing was inability to see clearly. It seemed as though there would be areas in my visual field that would...

Re: A Table of Christological Titles in Early Christian Writ

I suppose we could distinguish between tables that would be instructive to the curious amateur and those that would be helpful to someone with an anal predisposition to nit pick and look deeply into things (like me). In the coming blessed age when I get off my painkiller impaired ass and create some...

Re: 2nd c. AD opinion on the sun and the moon

He is alluding to Anaxagoras, a pre-Socrataic philosopher, as described by Diogenes Laërtius in Lives of the Eminent Philosophers: Anaxagoras 6. Anaxagoras,[8] the son of Hegesibulus or Eubulus, was a native of Clazomenae. He was a pupil of Anaximenes, and was the first who set mind above matter, fo...

Ask any Christian fundamentalist here in the US of A whether Christianity developed out of Judaism and they will respond "Of course not! The Jewish scriptures were written in the expectation of the appearing of the Christ of the Christians, meaning that Abraham, Moses, Joshua, and the prophets ...

Re: Volunteer needed for proofreading the Latin of Irenaeus

perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Irenaeus is the most tedious writer in history You'll get no argument from me on that! Yet, all the more reason to be able to easily refer to the Latin (translation) of Irenaeus. Like you and many here, I have Latin Grammars and Lexicons to work out...

Re: Volunteer needed for proofreading the Latin of Irenaeus

Re: [Forgery] 2 Corinthians 11:32-33 [/Forgery]

The Hebrew includes an explanation that her house was built into the city wall, but there is nothing of the sort in the Greek translation of this OT book. All it says is that she "let them down by the window." Joshua 2:15 καὶ κατεχάλασεν αὐτοὺς διὰ τῆς θυρίδος (BibleWorks revision of Rhalf...
