Re: Is the denial of Peter Mythicist evidence ?
Only if those words are taken out of context could you imagine such a thing. My broader suggestion is that you may be deluding yourself, and maybe wasting time.

Re: Did Morton salt Mar Saba?
Though I do not have a copy at hand, Shaye Cohen’s 1979 book (based on his 1975 dissertation), Josephus in Galilee and Rome: His Vita and His Development as a Historian, as I recall from reading in the 1980s, does not deny that Josephus wrote Antiquities, but as the title suggests (his development f...

Re: Did Morton salt Mar Saba?

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.
