EXAMPLE: Page:Kritik der Evangelien und Geschichte ihres Ursprungs, Vierter Band–Claremont.djvu/10 What I encounter on the sites you point to is basically the same as what I found when restoring Van Manen: not everything gets OCR-ed correctly. I spent 100 hours on Paulus, restoring the original tex...

Let's suppose banning mountainman's theory is out of the question. What do you with someone who denies the fact that we're on planet earth in the year 2023? I am serious. There WAS Christianity before Constantine. So what do we do about someone who consistently denies reality. I am on the same page...

Many thannks for providing the quotation for me. I concede that Justin did not consider Marcion to be Christian. You're welcome. The rhetoric of the FF sometimes requires reading an entire chapter multiple times before the possible message sinks in, even in English. Funny though hey, that he does e...

Although as you know I am more skeptical of the integrity of the evidence when it only exists as extracts extant in Christian refutations of anti-Christian writers. Origen refuting Celsus thus is similar to Eusebius refuting Hierocles, or Athanasius refuting Ari...

That is hard to get a hold of now but there is a new rough translation publicly available at here or in a single pdf file here . New works now available in English are: Critique of the Gospels -- th...

An attribution of the sort which I am asking about from GMark and Gmatthew would be along the lines of: "This is an account of what this text's author heard others say about Jesus's deeds and teachings". We have such claims from GLuke and GMatthew and, from outside the canon, GThomas. Tho...

Yes the odes are fascinating, and raise more questions than answers. I wonder how far the similarites to NT go with terms and images: grace, salvation, fountain, drink, etc. “Grace” is a technical term in Romans, but rather generic here. A pagan like Apuleius could talk about the graciousness of Is...

Sure does. Look at the order and composition of Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, Ephraemi and Bezae: there's no such thing as canonicals prior to 500

Part Three, an extensive analysis of the four Platonizing Sethian treatises and their implication for the history and development of Middle and Neoplatonic metaphysics. The final section offers a concluding overview of the Sethian religion.[/box] Alright, so you present the sole opinion of one pers...
