Hi David, As Ulan noted, my Ignatian theory can be read for free on Vridar. There I attempted to present the argument more clearly. I first argued that Ignatius was Peregrinus, and then went on to present the case that his brand of Christianity was Apellean. The Vridar series also includes some add...

Roger Parvus had a while back poked his head into this thread, where I was describing my amazement at Ignatius' fanatical desire to be chewed up by wild beasts, maybe even have himself tortured on the rack, but has not since then had anything to say. Now that I am reading his book (US $6 from publi...

I had made a few posts in the thread Apelles and the Gospel of John that dealt with Allen Brent's treatment of Ruis-Camps proposal that the majority of the letters of the Ignatian corpus of the middle (shorter Greek) recension, were spurious: http://www.earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&...

Stephen, I do not mean to put off a response, but I feel that you are taking my suggestion that scholars often let their presuppositions lead their criticism relatively unchecked, as only applying to de Vaux. I think it also goes the other way, as I have noted apparent inconsistencies in the stateme...

It means "Good news".... Something "new" has been revealed. In this case, (possibly): a new God. Does the term itself not fit best with the doctrine of the Marconites? Not necessarily. The phrase was in use in NT times as a way to describe the news of the accession of new Roman ...

Hey friends I just ordered Eusebius's church history. Can someone tell me what the other earliest church histories that are still preserved and I can buy? Thanks! :D There were several, and what's more, they're free! In The Podium, look at my posts regarding a series of translations of The Nicene &...
