Re: Rome and early Christianity

The Latin Prologue in Colmar 38 and Berlin 40 139 riffs on this in a neat way: Mark, the evangelist of God, disciple, and interpreter of the apostle Peter, as he had heard the apostle Peter reporting, wrote a short gospel, requested by Roman brothers who, not satisfied with having heard once about t...

Re: Rome and early Christianity

Jerome seems to have thought that Philo could have had some contact with early Christianity (apparently thinking of the references to the Therapeutae and interpreting them as such). https://web.archive.org/web/20070224051313/http://www.textexcavation.com/gospelorigins.html#jerome Mark, disciple and ...

Beckwith : there is strong evidence to show that the Essenes, the Pharisees, and the Zealots all thought that they could date, at least approximately, the time when the Son of David would c...

Re: How accurate would be this interpretation of Daniel?

I'm not interested in the calculations of Daniel 9. But what I do know is that the Jews of the second temple believed that time would be fulfilled in the first century. You don't have to be interested in my questions. You don't have to answer them. That's fine. I'm wondering if we can be any more s...

Re: How accurate would be this interpretation of Daniel?

Maybe my questions are worded terribly, or maybe nobody wants to speculate on this. How was it interpreted? What are some of the more plausible chronological interpretations that would have been derived? Messianic prophecy. Non answer really. Did you ask how the text was interpreted ? Then my answe...
