This is our subject (to the right of the omicron). https://earlywritings.com/forum/download/file.php?id=2513 I will leave a discussion of the subject character for another post. Here is the subject character alongside other instances of iota after omicron. oi.jpeg Here are some examples of final si...

In addition: Three nouns that end in -νος ἐκλεγόμενος (first page) χρησάμενος (second page) περιβεβλημένος (third page) Do any of these look like γυμνοὶ on page three? Completely different ligature already recognized by Tselikas. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/wp-content/uploads/agamemnon-pala...

I am posting all three pages of the color photos of The Letter to Theodore here (again with thanks to Roger Viklund and Charles W. Hedrick: First page: Viklund_thumbnail_Theodore_01_1200_dpi.jpeg Second page: Viklund_thumbnail_Theodore_02_1200_dpi.jpeg Third page; Viklund_thumbnail_Theodore_03_1200_...

But Marcion may well not be the first to write a book about Jesus and a book (largely) about Paul. True, but: The author of Luke-Acts may have preceded him. That's literally the first time I heard anybody, anywhere, posit that Luke-Acts may have been written before the letters of Paul. I would be v...

It is unclear whether Marcion's Evangelion came before Luke, or vice versa. But there's no question that Marcion's New Testament came before Athenasius's. Marcion was the first we know about who had the brilliant idea of combining stories of Jesus with letters of Paul, and offering it up as being o...

This suggests that in GJohn's time (c. 150) it was recognized that GMark was the original Gospel narrative. KK pointed out that Christian Bible scholarship is gradually accepting that GMark is mostly critical of Peter and The Disciples. They are still resisting the significance of 16:8 as the endin...

Luke omits the part of the parable where the seed sprang up quickly because it lacked depth of soil. However, he still provides an interpretation for that part of the parable! Where Mark’s seed on the rock withered “because it had no root”, Luke changes the reason to be that “it withered for lack o...

This is an incredible thread. Got my head buzzing, and I have questions about many of the topics brought up here: Did Marcion know about the claim that Luke was the author of Luke? Did he know the name "Luke"? Tertullian certainly did, and he certainly presupposes more or less that Marcio...

Andrew has already offered a reasonable answer to this question, but I would like to add that I find the question itself seems to suggest that this is an odd or perhaps counterintuitive view in need of a special defense, which I don't think it is. No, not in those words. How about just a defense of...
