Re: “Pontius Pilate” was merely a historicization of the original Greek “πόντος πιλητὸς” (dense sea)
Definitely on the Semitic root ( PLT ) for release . Pilate releases Barabbas to freedom. Pilate releases Jesus to be crucified. * Pilate releases the body of Jesus to Joseph of Arimathea. * conceptually / theologically ' releasing ' Him to be glorified [as a sacrifice] * eta And it not need be a s...

Re: The Short Recension of Three Letters of Ignatius
Do you have a feel for if the shorter Syriac leters of Ignatius refer to the Pauline Epistles in a way that is above and beyond what could be a reference to Paul-in-Acts?

Re: The Short Recension of Three Letters of Ignatius
"We can hardly suppose that the Syriac translator...should have made such omissions for the sake of brevity, more especially when these Epistles in themselves are so short." No doubt Cureton was more knowledgeable than I'll ever be, but surely this is an argument from incredulity. There a...

Re: The Short Recension of Three Letters of Ignatius
Have a read: https://www.google.com.au/books/edition/The_Antient_Syriac_Version_of_the_Epistl/3UEYAAAAYAAJ?hl=en In the preface, on pp. x-xvi, Cureton discusses the 12 manuscripts he used to give the Syriac versions he does. Then in § IV, p.xvi, he notes, "In viewing the Syriac version of the ...

Re: My recreation of the opening of the First Gospel
I get the impression that there was an early tradition of a John - probably [mostly] John, son of Zebedee - telling of a revelation from/by a Saviour/Christ/Jesus and of this eventually being usurped by [perhaps new] narratives about this Saviour-Christ or a Saviour-Jesus* +/- the Christ descending...

Re: re; re: reeeeeeee
Surely you know that Doherty and Carrier can explain all those under a mythicist rubric. No, I don't. But since they are tied into Paul I probably could develop questions about why you've gone down this path, but I sure as hell don't want to read your answers. You have this weird propensity to fram...

Re: re; re: reeeeeeee
But I will say: 5. The fact that the Ignatian Epistle to the Romans mentions Paul and Peter - as Apostles - is not evidence for the 'historicity' of Jesus. Who cares whether it's evidence for historicity or not. It's all fan fiction anyway. You appeared to care whether the Ignatian Letters were evi...
