Re: Was Paul Josephus?

I was referring to Acts in that comment, as the comparison taking place was Acts and Bacchae.
Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers,

Re: Was Paul Josephus?

That seems to me to be a very sensible understanding of the relationship between the texts. In so doing, does this present a queer relationship in comparing Paul of Acts to Josephus in that Paul is a character within the story, such as Dionysus in Bacchae, whereas Josephus is external of the Bacchae...

Re: Was Paul Josephus?

Strictly speaking; I am unfortunately left with an undetermined result by grammatical comparison due to the entries of proposal being too short for a unique identifier to exist from which to apply comparison. Bacchae line 795 θύοιμ᾽ ἂν αὐτῷ μᾶλλον ἢ θυμούμενος πρὸς κέντρα λακτίζοιμι θνητὸς ὢν θεῷ. S...

Re: Was Paul Josephus?

5. Josephus tells that he knows many ancient dramas. In Acts, there's an episode that narrates Paul's "conversion"; and the saying "hard to kick against the goad", which has its origin in a drama written by Jospehus , is used - Acts 26:14 Is there a citation for the drama in whi...

Re: Was Paul Josephus?

Re: Adam wasn't buried in the third heaven.

Perhaps I am missing something, but 7 heavens appears in 35.2 as a reference to how much of the heavens was involved in pleading to their god for the ascent of Adam.
