Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

I recently had occasion to quote Walter Stephens, to the effect that the presentation of a forgery requires its author to distance himself by taking another role, that of sponsor: A third-stage pseudonym entails the transfer of authorship to a historical personage, one whose name is usually known to...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

Do I think that Mark Goodacre would forge a text to prove Q didn't exist? No I would never believe that. I think good scholarship and being a good scholar meant as much to Morton Smith as it does to Mark Goodacre. That's why I would always hold them as irreproachable with respect to the manufacture...

Re: The Rampant Forgery of Written Documents in the Greek Monasteries

Walter Stephens wrote: A third-stage pseudonym entails the transfer of authorship to a historical personage, one whose name is usually known to the intended audience. In many cases, a third-stage pseudonym is the marker of texts reviled as forgeries. ... Obviously, the attribution must be made by so...

Re: γυμνὸς or γυμνοὶ in Clement's Letter to Theodore?

There are several early Christian texts that use the word 'naked' (presumably) without a sexual suggestion. But what we are discussing here is the the Secret Gospel According to Mark mentioned in Clement's letter to Theodore, in which the issue of a sexual reading is raised directly by Clement. I d...

Re: Did Josephus say that Jesus was called Chrēstos?

Second Apocalypse of James and Recognitions Painter in Just James draws several parallels between the Second Apocalypse of James and the Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions. With Recognitions 1 the Second Apocalypse shares the motifs of the prediction of the destruction of the Temple (R 64.2 and A 60.13...

The pairing of the Second Apocalypse of Jam...
