Re: First Century Christian Writings Missing from our Forum's Website
It's hard for me to see how one would date the Epistle of Eugnostos to 50-150 AD and date Sophia of Jesus Christ to 50-250 AD, but date the Gnostic Gospel of the Egyptians/Book of the Great Invisible Spirit to a period more than decades later (eg. to date it to 200-350 AD). They are all in Nag Hamma...

Re: Early to mid 2nd c. works on Christianity missing from our forum's website
It looks to me like the Gnostic Gospel of the Egyptians/Book of the Great Invisible Spirit dates to the early 2nd - 3rd century, not to 200-350 AD as the Early Writings list says. In Nag Hammadi Codex III, Book II: The Gnostic Gospel of the Egyptians / Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit was lik...

Re: HELLENISTIC SYNAGOGAL PRAYERS in the Apostolic Constitutions (100 - 380 AD) Questions
For Question 4: (Question 4) Isn't Wisdom / Sophia considered in Orthodox Christian tradition to be a reference to the Holy Spirit? Hellenistic Synagogal Prayer 12 says: And You have not only created the world itself, but hast also made man for a citizen of the world, exhibiting him as the ornament...

Re: MARA BAR SERAPION'S LETTER (c.73-200 AD) 2 Questions
For Question 1 , I think that the statement “at Time: inasmuch as, although he has not borrowed any evil from me, he is paying me back" means that Mara finds the irony of the situation humorous. That is, he didn't harm Time or mistreat Time, but now Time is mistreating him in that he is old an in ca...

Re: Early to mid 2nd c. works on Christianity missing from our forum's website
Thanks. That is my guess too. I don't know how you would prove that it is post-Eusebian, though. Some of the best evidence for me is that it isn't mentioned before what, the 10th century?

Re: Early to mid 2nd c. works on Christianity missing from our forum's website
When would you date the "Martyrdom of Ignatius"? I have seen dates ranging from the 2nd century AD to centuries later. The earliest manuscript that we have is from the 10th century, and the early writers don't clearly mention it, so it seems like a late document. Wikipedia refers to this text: Altho...

Re: The Legion of Jesuses in Josephus
Thanks, Ben. The Encyclopedia list that you gave just cites Josephus for the first century priests' list. It just repeats him practically.
