Re: The X-Files: Chrēstos / Christos / Χρειστος

Thank you, Steven. From Elias Lowe here: https://archive.org/details/palaeographicalp0001lowe/page/301/mode/1up Whether the silent correction is due to the author or to a scribe it is impossible to tell. If Orosius had left it 'Chresto' it is more than likely that a scribe would sooner or later have...

Re: The X-Files: Chrēstos / Christos / Χρειστος

At some places, the Syriac translation speaks of the kingdom of Chr_stos: 1.52.6 For this reason, blessed are those who attain and receive the kingdom of Christ [?], who will also escape the punishment of hell, be delivered, and remain incorruptible, just as they have ardently desired to escape fro...

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: 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...
