Re: dating the birth stories?

Arggggg! That is what we sign up for in this field. :D I guess that it's cheaper than hiring a dominatrix. :P Depends on which books you buy. :shock: Some of the prices in this field are shocking. Oh, I hear ya. One that I wanted was 1,362.00 and they had the balls to include shipping on top of tha...

Re: Of Nazirites & Naṣoraeans.

Hai Lane, I am trying at different pages to reach you. I have read everything you sent me. This is completely out of the box thinking that I really like. It shows independence in thinking and studying, which is extremely rare these days. And is therefore already great. I would like to talk about it...

Re: The start of the Jesus story

Hai Lane, I hope to reach you in this way. I have read all the things you sent me and I have seen your view on Paul. I must say this is clearly out of the box thinking!! I really like that because, true or not, it shows independent thinking and studying, which is in these days very rare. So some ki...

Re: dating the birth stories?

IIRC Suetonius still writes about a Chrestus in the rein of Claudius. Different person altogether? Yes, Suetonius has Chrestus. Could be a different figure altogether. Not sure, though. There is that weird matchup between Suetonius seemingly implying that Chrestus instigated trouble at Rome and Rev...

Re: dating the birth stories?

It must also be noted that Tacitus, Suetonius and Pliny the younger do not mention anyone called Jesus. As clearly stated, in the NT, many persons would be called Christ so it cannot be assumed that the name Christ could only refer to NT Jesus. In fact, in the Gospels it is claimed there was anothe...

Re: dating the birth stories?

If memory serves, Suetonius and Tacitus both use the term Chrestus. The significance of the term Chrestianos in Tacitus is probably medieval . Pliny has Christo quasi deo and Tacitus has auctor nominis eius Christus . ETA: Even today Christ is still Christ in French, whereas Christian is Chrétien. ...
