the new evidence in April Atlantic. = what does it matter if the text doesn't say "naked man with naked man."

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"
There's a point on June 8th I believe in his letter to his wife, the last day of the journal where, he's obviously feeling "this ain't happening." The day before in the journal he's talking about detective stories and its all positive. By the 8th it's like not sure what to do.

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"
What I find puzzling is it's twenty six years since Morton Smith allegedly wrote the manuscript (in 1983). He doesn't say this explicitly. But I think he thought that a twenty five year old MS would look different than a two hundred and fifty year old manuscript. You know the ink the blots the fresh...

Re: Distinguishing some questions about the "Letter to Theodore"
Let's put it this way. That's the last entry in the "journal." He stopped recording his investigation. But he stayed on to June 19 or 20. He must have gone to Mar Saba. The indications are there. But Quesnell not mentioning to "broad scholarship" that he had the photos to everyon...

Why can't we just admit that there is no conclusive evidence either way that this manuscript is a forgery. Why isn't that a good starting point?

Re: Greek Monks Who Thought the Letter to Theodore was in the Mar Saba Monastery Before Morton Smith Arrives
So if they thought the manuscript was always in the monastery the "discovering" wouldn't be that important n'est ce pas? If I think I'm beautiful someone coming up to me telling me so isn't a big deal. If I have a nice house someone telling me I have a nice house isn't a big deal. If the d...
