Anything you found interesting other than the traditional Coptic forms seemed not to include "Son of God" and "Christ"?
The metric to judge if one is a good exegete: the way he/she deals with Barabbas.

Who disagrees with me on this precise point is by definition an idiot.

I am fascinated by traditions especially those which survived orally. I think in some ways texts are established against oral traditions. How old is this prayer? It's a fascinating question - for me at least.
