Re: Did Morton salt Mar Saba?
Though maybe not relevant for the OP, Secret Alias wrote, “…I think Morton Smith's student Shaye Cohen presented evidence that your beloved corpus of Josephus was likely a forgery or at least an original Aramaic hypomnema of Josephus was heavily interpolated into the existing Greek texts we now poss...

Re: Did Morton salt Mar Saba?
In 1912 Charles Dawson claimed that he found important early human bones, known as Piltdown man. By faulty logic he could be called the sole eyewitness, and therefore “innocent.” Decades later this was proven to be fake. We know that others witnessed the ms. Including Guy Stroumsa and David Flusser....

Re: Did Morton salt Mar Saba?
Morton Smith was a hard-working researcher, but that was not one of my questions. Karen King was a hard-working researcher. She contacted the NY Times and others to cover what she claimed was an important ancient gospel text. Morton Smith contacted the NY Times and others to cover what he claimed wa...

Re: Did Morton salt Mar Saba?
The recorded, freely available (LMWsymposium.com) presentation by Geoffrey Smith is recent (a month old) and makes relevant claims. Is such news unwelcome here to more than one?

Re: Need information about Pharisaical beliefs about the soul.
Ben, though it will not resolve your question, some more reference to Pharisees and endtimes may be available, if you (as I do) consider that some mentions of Ephraim in Qumran refer to them.

Did Morton salt Mar Saba?
There’s no consensus yet, but it may be, partly by unintended consequence, slowly arriving. Geoffrey Smith recently showed persuasively (in LMWsymposium.com) that the letter by “Clement” (his quotation marks) was composed sometime after Eusebius’ History, so not by Clement. And, I add, if Clement of...

DSS ms dating by C14, paleography and AI
From a recorded conference and a recent publication come the *preliminary* suggestion that some Dead Sea Scrolls are to be dated “earlier” or “slightly older” than previously estimated. *If* that, in future publications of the project (that contributed 30 additional C14 tests and also used artificia...

I found Geoffrey Smith’s presentation the more informative of the two.
If Mark founded Egyptian Christianity, why is the Gospel of Mark so comparatively scantly attested in Egyptian papyri?

Re: WEBINARS: The Social Worlds of Early Christians (Oct. 23-24, 2020)
From the zoom symposium, I have watched/listened (just once, so far) to very interesting recorded presentations by Brent Landau and then (in the schedule sequence) Geoffrey Smith. Thanks for this symposium! Here, some very provisional and perhaps partly mistaken first reactions Brent Landau stressed...
