Michael Polanyi vs. Karl Polanyi.
Michael's Tacit Knowledge is a Philosophical Position advocated by some in the US, such as Jerry Gill.

Re: Possible textual evidence that Mark came after Matthew?

Because Jesus is the Son of God in Mark. Literally. But wouldn't that make it all the more necessary for Mark to include Matthew 1 into his account? For Mark Jesus is only the son of God at his baptism. FWIW, I have Matthew 1 as coming from Josephus. Nicholas of Damascus writes a phony genealogy to...

1. Josephus, The Jewish War , Thackeray Translation, Loeb Classical Library, p. 327: "...And now the feast of unleavened bread, which the Jews call Passover, came round; it is an occasion for the contribution of the multitude of sacrifices, and a vast crowd streamed in from the country for the ...

Re: John of Gischala "was scandalized" at the news about Josephus and Jesus ben Sapphat

Bottom line, history needs to be on the table in any attempt to research early Christian origins. Without a foothold in history interpretations are just blowing in the wind....keeping in mind that 'Josephus says so' is not a historical guarantee of anything at all..... His stories are just stories ...

Re: John of Gischala "was scandalized" at the news about Josephus and Jesus ben Sapphat

And Josephus - based on ?. OK, I'll take a guess - pure speculation of course - Agrippa II. How do you do it, maryhelena? Secret Alias wrote a "...silly little book" [His words...] on A-II and HE didn't get it. Everyone, please look at "The Baptism of John" and "The Baptism...

Re: Was Paul Marcion (in part, at least)?

YES!!! No one, as far as I know, has mapped out the various Paths followed by Vespasian and especially Antonius Primus and Mucianus, to see if the Time Lines are even possible. "Hastily fitting out a fleet of Liburnian ships he pursued Anicetus..." Oh, RILLY!!! Mucianus went to the local B...

Re: Was Paul Marcion (in part, at least)?

MrMacSon -- A good suggestion. Some time ago, I speculated on something like this awhile back: Tacitus, Histories, Book 3: "All other nations were equally restless. A sudden outbreak had been excited in Pontus by a barbarian slave, who had before commanded the royal fleet. This was Anicetus, a ...

Re: HISTORY AND THE GOSPEL JESUS

And just to keep history in mind in view of the OP ... Alexander Jannaeus did not bring down the Hasmonean dynasty.... That tragedy fell to Hyrancus and Antigonus. Keep Posting on this, maryhelena.
