Re: Markus Vinzent's claim about Marcion

Anyhoo, what's the point of the OP? The OP is not particularly informative or well introduced. It arose from a discussion between Ulan and me. I picked it up a little later . Ulan linked to Prof. Vinzent’s blog and wrote: "But he (Vinzent) sees Marcion at the base of many gospels". I foun...

Re: Markus Vinzent's claim about Marcion

. I've always wondered what Richard Carrier would probably say about Markus "Vinzey" Vinzent and his claims. Now Dr. Carrier actually says the following: illogical and factless Is this sentence too harsh? ... After all, every day you read very conservative interpretations of scripture by ...

Re: Basic reason why the name of Pilate was absent in the Earliest Passion Story extrapolated from Mark

Methodological principles followed by me in reconstructing the Earliest Passion Story: If a passage is suspected to be there for a theological reason , for an apologetical reason , for a liturgical reason , for a midrashical reason , for a polemical reason , then that passage has to be removed ista...

Re: Inside Mark: Voices Come Over Them

I don't think Psalm 22 was chosen due to any association with David, it was chosen for its content. imho Mark 6 is particularly interesting because Herod receives his title "King" from the narrator at the very moment when he begins to talk like King Ahasuerus, and is then referred to as &...

Inside Mark: Voices Come Over Them

. Two would-be kings talk like kings: Herod speaks the words of Ahasuerus and Jesus speaks the words of David Mark 6:22f And the king said the to the girl, “Ask me whatever you wish, and I will give to you.” And he swore to her, “Whatever you might ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom....

Re: Lost Lachmann demonstration re Mark 1:2-3

Moreover, the Isaiah passage in its original context does not easily apply to a John the Baptist figure -- If that were also my understanding, then I would agree with you and also find the verses very suspicious. Personally, I share the modern view of the structure of the first four verses and do n...

Re: What before *Ev: a teamwork, a school

I don't agree with that. imho, the question remains whether Mark used Matthew and Luke (or Marcion, whoever likes it); or whether Matthew and Luke/Marcion used Mark. Everything else is, in my opinion, the wrong question. There's also the question of whether Mark was eventually edited to include mat...

Re: What before *Ev: a teamwork, a school

The only questions (in my mind, at least) is (1) whether the author/s of G. Mark used *Ev (before or after the Marcionites acquired it); or the author of *Ev used G. Mark; or G. Mark +/- *Ev were written concurrently (and 'in-company', ie. by authors were in the same community or school +/- in the ...

Re: What before *Ev: a teamwork, a school

Mark's priority is a consensus solution, not a proven solution. It's simply a vote for your favorite hypothesis that has yet to be proven. People these days seem to have no idea what Markan Priority even means and how this thesis has become established over a course of almost a hundred years of dis...
