Re: Further evidence that Ignatius faced old deniers of the historicity of Jesus

Hey Joseph, Glad to see you back! I think what Giuseppe has in mind is this passage in The Epistle to the Tarsians: Chapter III.—The true doctrine respecting Christ. Mindful of him, do ye by all means know that Jesus the Lord was truly born of Mary , being made of a woman; and was as truly crucifie...

Added 3rd Philo source to citations about Judean sects

Well, I hate to add to perfection itself (uh huh) but I was formerly relying on De Jonge for my Philo citations. De Jonge does not include a translation of a work of Philo known as Hypothetica (aka Apology for the Jews), as this is preserved only as a citation of Philo in Preparation for the Gospel....

Re: Further evidence that Ignatius faced old deniers of the historicity of Jesus

Part of my problem is that I do not read Carrier, at all. Someone had cited the letter to the Tarsians in an earlier post, so I thought that might be it. According to my analysis of this epistle (posted several years ago) to the Philadelphians: 8.2) And I exhort you to do nothing out of strife, but ...

Re: The Legend of James the Just and His Martyrdom

Going back to Hegesippus' Hebrew or Aramaic skills, the Hebrew word that Eusebius claims Hegesippus paraphrased as " Oblias " (ὠβλίας), would appear to be the Hebrew verb " יָבַל " ( yabal ) to bring, carry, lead, conduct. The Greek word I'd expect would be ὁδηγήσει ( hodegesei )...

Re: Gospel priority

Ken, I'm afraid I will have to decline to continue this discussion. Not sure I agree with the direction the board seems to be going (more angry replies and all that goes with that). I have noticed that you have recently soured in your opinion of me, and maybe pressed one of your buttons. I guess I a...

Re: Flaw with Marcion priority theory?

Here is another rub to the question of priority: from what point of the sediment are we starting from for our excavation? ... For convenience sake, here is my headcanon: *first layer, 115ad-130ad, Marcionism 0.1: belief in a mystical translation into the body of the chrestus: only Pauline letters u...
