Partial evidence of this Reductio ad Unum, against the Reductio ad Paulum at work in Mark (and in Marcion) may be just the shortening of the time between the death and the revelation to a maximum of ''three days'', a common hellenistic tropos of the time, introduced when it started the dialogue with Pagan hellenists. Jesus became a new, recent god-man added to the mix of rival misteric religions. And as a new, recent god-man was despised by Celsus (who did respect more the oldest Jewish religion). That was the price to pay if they wanted to reduce Jesus to a single event in recent history.Clive wrote:Does orthodoxy and credal anti heretical assertions then become a third Roman influence on this mess?
