Morton Smith regarding the Writer/Copyist

Morton Smith makes a number of observations regarding the circumstances of the 18th century copyist: Clement of Alexandria, p. 2 That the writer was a scholar is also shown by his spelling. Although confusion of the various vowels sounded as £ was common in his time, he has only once fallen into it ...

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

Given the current state of the discussion in this thread regarding the shape of the letter based on the images shared, where the images of the letter itself have been considered by several participants to be insufficient to resolve the question definitely, a reasonable next stage of discussion is to...

Re: Jesus' home in Capernaum?

It's possible that Ephraem attributes 'Bethsaida' here to the Diatessaron, which is a primary focus of his commentary, and that the remarks on Marcion here regard other aspects. Quite so; but Couchcloud does read Ephriam as explicitly saying that in the copy of the Ev which he had, it was Bethsaida...

Re: Jesus' home in Capernaum?

Klinghardt, Matthias. The Oldest Gospel: A Missing Link in New Testament Scholarship, Kindle Edition I noticed something when reading a footnote of Couchcloud--he says that in Ephram's copy of the Evangelion has "Bethsaida" here instead of Nazara or Nazareth. Curiouser and curiouser. Here...

Re: Carrier - Goodacre conversation on the historicity of Jesus

How so? Well, it was a long time ago, so I don't remember specifically.....I just remembered, at the end of the debate, that somebody who spends their entire professional life studying the gospels, trained at and working at the best universities in the world should have left no doubt in my mind whe...

Cyril of Jerusalem (pseudo?), Discourse on Mary Theotokos [ca. 4th/5th century] ... And that monk replied, ‘It is written in | the [Gospel] to the Hebrews that when Christ wished to come upon the earth to men the Good Father called a mighty "power" in the heavens which was called * Michael...

Re: Peter Schäfer on the origin of the accusation against Jesus of being a Samaritan

:cheers: The great finding of C.W. Leadbeater in “The Christian Creed” (1898), p. 77-81 puts definitively an end to the enigma “Why the mention of Pilate in the Gospels?”: Definitive endings ain't what they used to be. Hence that is the probable reason why Pilate entered in the Gospel "traditi...

Re: Couchoud's 'Is Marcion's Gospel One of the Synoptics?'

Do you know if there are any Evangelion-Mark readings not found in Luke which are also not found in Mattthew?
