Blood wrote:written entirely chiastically, like Matthew?
Is that so? In what sense? What are the specific chiasm(s) found in Matthew behind this statement?

Re: A N Wilson Book of the People

Clive wrote:Wilson regards the Book of Job as a 'stupendous work of literature'.
My English teacher Mr. Hunt also spoke of it highly. Believe he placed it in the top three ever, actually. Don't know how that's calculated, but it stuck with me.

Re: Marginal Notes, Interpolations, & Parallels in Josephus

Thanks for this. It makes sense. I tried to find it in the Chronicle of Jerome, but it's not there. Jerome adheres to the tradition that Nero and Domitian were the first persecutors, so it would not be as relevant to him as it would be if he might have believed that Christians were expelled (as Paul...

Re: Is the TF creedal ?

I'm not sure that the issue, in the context of the authenticity debate, is so much that the Testimonium Flavianum is so precisely a creed that it could only have stood in the shadow of Nicaea and Chalcedon, as it is that the outline of the brief narrative does tightly cohere with the Christian bulle...

Re: Gospel of Mark and Propp's Morphology

Out of curiosity (and some relevance), are there narratives (you know--characters, setting, plot ) where Propp's morphology could not be applied? If you mean more broadly, my first response is to note that Milne was able to apply Propp's M to only one (or two?) sections of the book of Daniel. I wou...

Re: New discovered Roman amulet mixes Christian and pagan im

Thanks for this post, dengen. (I've fixed the 'bbcode' issue for you, and you shouldn't have any trouble making quotes, etc., from now on.) This amulet, in my opinion, has nothing to do with either Judaism, or Christianity... This amulet suggests to me, if no one else, that Yahweh (if that is the pr...
