Re: Niels Lemche, "272 BCE – A Terminus a Quo"

There appears to be a general trend of dating some Qumran mss earlier than previous estimates and date ranges, as I wrote before. One recent example, in this subforum: Palaeo-Hebrew: a new advance by StephenGoranson » Tue Apr 23, 2024 9:03 am, and M. Langlois on paleo-Hebrew paleography of several m...

Re: Syndication

The question remains, whether your one-source total manufacture proposal is so obviously true.
Or whether, though I don't see that proposal as plausible, I am allowed to think something different.

Definition of Torah books

One of the variables in claims about when the five books of Torah were written or completed is whether or when what counts as being completed.
By, e.g., Gmirkin.
By, elsewhere, Lemche.
And others.

Re: Possible textual evidence that Mark came after Matthew?

If, rgprice, "trying to sort all of this out has been impossible,"

partially or completely?

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

Guiseppe, of course you are free to say, as you did above, in part: "I enjoy to inquiry on different hypotheses [...]" What I do question is your approval of multiple opinions which all embrace mythicism, but, at the same time, as means to that end, you appear to accept those scenarios tha...

Re: naked or nakeds in the "Letter to Theodore"

One of the other major theories about the pseudo-Clement Letter, besides the Morton Smith origin one, is that a Mar Saba monk sometime more or less in the eighteenth century, copied an earlier, incomplete, manuscript. Even on that theory, this would be merely a copy (of another copy?), in which (as ...
