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

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. I'm not seeing where we are to derive the 7th heaven as a contradictory local against the 3rd heaven where Adam is placed. I see the e...

You may enjoy connecting with Brainache over on JREF, for he is exactly on this same interest following the Eisenman trail. As to Is, Ha and GabStone: Have you made any comparisons yet?
