Re: Litwa on Marcion as ancient Mythicist
We got another one.If Litwa had included the quoted statement in a university publication, the reviewer would have formally ridiculed it, asking a rhetorical question - how does the author know what he is writing?

Re: Greek Monks Who Thought the Letter to Theodore was in the Mar Saba Monastery Before Morton Smith Arrives
I am suggesting to take Morton Smith at his word that he knew there were often handwritten notes in the blank pages of notes. He did find other manuscripts as well as the Letter to Theodore.

Re: Greek Monks Who Thought the Letter to Theodore was in the Mar Saba Monastery Before Morton Smith Arrives

Re: Litwa on Marcion as ancient Mythicist
This is why I don't like Richard Carrier: Litwa literally doesn’t know anything he is talking about. "Literally." How can an expert "literally" not know anything about what he is talking about. The word "literally" literally makes the sentence incomprehensible. Typical ...

Re: Litwa on Marcion as ancient Mythicist
I've said this many times before. The name "mythicism" has a negative connotation. It would be like if you set up a study of homosexuality called "faggot studies" and when people questioned you you'd be like "oh no, we don't hate homosexuals." "Then why are you cal...
