I somehow never make these lists of cool posters. :(
I think you too are almost as good as KK.

Miss Ben, though.

Re: Having It Both Ways With Secret Mark

Once upon a time, a translation of the Letter to Theodore made by a non-expert paleographer (Morton Smith) took it for granted that the letter had Clement speak of the Carpocratians referencing them mentioning "naked man with naked man" in relation to Secret Mark. Now after citing Tselika...

Re: Having It Both Ways With Secret Mark

The paleography is of mixed types and dates, according to a most [notable?] expert Greek paleographer . That's not a proof. Tselikas has his opinion. Apparently you agree that it is unusual that spelling mistakes come up in the transcription of ancient documents. I don't share that view. Nor do I b...

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

Venetia Anastasapoulou writes on p.12 of her report, which I imagine you have, if not I can post the page): That could be helpful. Thanks! I would also benefit from having a better photograph. Yes, a better image would help, and perhaps some more experienced palaeographers participating in the disc...

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

IMO the shape of the letter looks more similar to the iotas. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6EdGqXg1od9JYfGnnp59dNOZ_S-Yr2InvccIlzpbXb59k82A7H-YlklWgwcdvo5oW036uOi4XBbF5W1mYGWHvyxLX-_SrQ2kdAX3VXidd9AofHp5JqPF9ExUtmzaeDVjZi054wxUEGYNmHUAYIGWOYpAoANvVhjzjB5u0lyntUJ0C5fqTP...

Re: Did Josephus say that Jesus was called Chrēstos?

[box=][/box] Here are three four instances where I haven't concluded that there is a literary dependence on the Hegesippus account. Clement of Alexandria (as quoted by Eusebius) Euseb. H. E. II 1, 3.

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

It's possible that what is referenced here is a scene of a group of people having sex in the garden of Gethsamane that is broken up, with people running off naked (along with the mentioned naked man), when the authorities arrive. I think Andrew has now given a better response to this than the one I...

Re: Gospel priority

Moving on to your point, I did not address what might have motivated G & G to reject Q so vehemently. They have proposed a means, a very complicated means with several steps, that could explain the development of the synoptic gospels as we have them without Q, when the Q hypothesis is a much mo...
