Re: Is Pilate an explorer?
a serious searcher of the truth. I don't know what term you're translating as 'explorer', but I believe you're looking for the word 'philosopher' (in a non-professional sense), someone with a serious concern for knowing the truth. You could even use the term 'seeker', although it feels a little New...

Re: Parable of Sower and Aelia Capitolina
. . . This is another clue that the Gospels were written under Hadrian. The Roman Emperor Julian wrote the following which perhaps would support an earlier dating. Yet Jesus, who won over the least worthy of you, has been known by name for but little more than three hundred years : and during his l...

Re: Jesus as the Serpent of Genesis in Secret Mark?
This source also indicates there was an alleged distortion to this writing. (Pseudo-)Clement’s letter to Theodore Oden (2011a:198–199) concludes, against the bulk of scholars (like Jay 2008:573–597; Watson 2010:128–170; Carlson 2005, and many others) and myself, that Clement wrote this letter (cf. a...

Re: The Shepherd of Hermas
Additionally, this writer appears to have alluded to and/or partially quoted 1 Peter 5:17, Matthew 26:24 and other writings as well. Cast your cares upon the Lord, and He will direct them. Trust the Lord, ye who doubt, for He is all-powerful, and can turn His anger away from you, and send scourges&q...
