Re: Antiqua Mater: A Study of Christian Origins. E Johnson
Selective debunking is the classic mistake of the 19th century critics, and always produced editions that were arbitary and unsound. "Selective debunking" of what? Produces what sort of editions? I won't try and speak for Roger, but some scholars of the 19th century were excessively sure ...

Re: The phenomenology of the historical jesus.
Phenomenology can only be appropriated phenomenologically, i.e., only through demonstration and not in such a way that one repeats propositions, takes over fundamental principles, or subscribes to academic dogmas.”1 1 Martin Heidegger, Ontology – The Hermeneutics of Facticity John van Buren trans. ...

Re: Mythicism: Two Theories
I'm tired of seeing the guy's name pop up everywhere and suspect he has a well-oiled internet machine pushing his schtick. Here is his thesis: Carrier received a PhD in ancient history from Columbia University in 2008: his thesis was entitled 'Attitudes towards the natural philosopher in the Early ...

Re: The Myth of Jewish Christianity
Is there evidence that 2 Corinthians was 'written around 55 CE'?? Not direct evidence, although that is also lacking for almost all things that are claimed to have happened in ancient literature. But yes, 55 CE is roughly the date most scholars (18th century on, that is) calculate for it's date of ...

Re: Did Jesus Exist? Searching for Evidence Beyond the Bible
In Christian terminology, Jesus Christ = Jesus Christ, Christ Jesus, Jesus, Christ. I e., they all are virtually interchangeable. When assessing Roman sources, you cannot automatically make this kind of equation: Jesus = a man named Jesus, I do not think any use this name for the Jesus Christ of the...

Re: The Myth of Jewish Christianity
I know only a little German, but even that little bit is valuable. Lots of Bruno Bauer have been scanned in the original German for those hardy enough to have a crack at it: https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Bruno+Bauer%22&page=1 There is an English translation of Christ and the...

Re: Earliest Church Father reference to Luke 19:27 ??
Going by the Ante-Nicene Fathers series index volume (#9 in print, not reproduced online), the only place where "Luke 19:12, 13, etc." is found in that series is in volume 3 (Tertullian), pg 416, Against Marcion bk 4, ch 39: "This will be the great day of the Lord, and of the glorious...

Re: Earliest Church Father reference to Luke 19:27 ??
We need a LOT of early manuscripts to nail things down. Slightly OT- I wish a few billionaires looking for something to do with their money would pool resources and excavate the rest of Herculaneum. It was a upper-class town with most likely more than a few private libraries. Some might have escape...
