Re: A wonderful Mythicist book: I am talking about “Christ before Jesus” by M. Britt and J. Wingo

This is Matthew Britt, one of the co-authors. I read the book. Great job. I think some of the connections between Josephus and Jesus can be explained in that Mark used Jeremiah imo and there are scholars who have compared Josephus's autobiographical content to Jeremiah's escapades prior to the dest...

[/quote] The "two conquests" dated? What is your Markan chronology of authorship & redaction? [/quote] My Markan chronology is basic. Immediately after Jerusalem falls in 70 CE. It is important to note that Vespasian does not only end the violence in Judea, he also ends the violence in...

Re: A wonderful Mythicist book: I am talking about “Christ before Jesus” by M. Britt and J. Wingo

The "two conquests" dated? What is your Markan chronology of authorship & redaction? We have the conquest in 586 BCE and in 70 CE. (I do think Zechariah 9-14 uses a rehash of Absalom's rebellion, and Mark uses both, to retell the conquest by Ptolemy in about 300 BCE, when he took lots...

Re: A wonderful Mythicist book: I am talking about “Christ before Jesus” by M. Britt and J. Wingo

Mark is, imho, about the fall of Jerusalem. 1) Because of the sins of Jacob (i.e James)/Israel? Isaiah 40:2 ἱερεῖς λαλήσατε εἰς τὴν καρδίαν Ιερουσαλημ παρακαλέσατε αὐτήν ὅτι ἐπλήσθη ἡ ταπείνωσις αὐτῆς λέλυται αὐτῆς ἡ ἁμαρτία ὅτι ἐδέξατο ἐκ χειρὸς κυρίου διπλᾶ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα αὐτῆς ἐδέξατο: received ἐ...

Re: A wonderful Mythicist book: I am talking about “Christ before Jesus” by M. Britt and J. Wingo

Mark is, imho, about the fall of Jerusalem. In this he mirrors Jesus son of Nun and Jeremiah in being rejected 40 years prior to the fall of Jerusalem. 1 That is why Jesus of Nazareth is dated to 30 Ce as far as I can tell. Look into how the Elijah-Elishua 2 narrative and the Jeremiah-Jesus son of ...

Re: A wonderful Mythicist book: I am talking about “Christ before Jesus” by M. Britt and J. Wingo

Hi. 1 I presume you're only referring to Jeremiah being rejected prior to the [first] fall of Jesusalem, not to 'Jesus' son of Nun also being rejected. 2 did you mean Elijah-Elisha or, in fact, Elijah-Elishua? Is Elishua interchangeable with Elisha? [/list] 3 Is there a 'Jeremiah-Jesus son of Jehoz...

Mark is, imho, about the fall of Jerusalem. In this he mirrors Jesus son of Nun and Jeremiah in being rejected 40 years prior to the fall of Jerusalem. Is this viewpoint in the scope of the article "Intertextual production of the Gospel of Mark" . Wikipedia ? DBZ, no, this is the first ti...

I'm happy to answer questions when I get the chance. Hello, Jesus Tales here. Mark is, imho, about the fall of Jerusalem. In this he mirrors Jesus son of Nun and Jeremiah in being rejected 40 years prior to the fall of Jerusalem. That is why Jesus of Nazareth is dated to 30 Ce as far as I can tell....
