ficino, Aren't gold coins exceedingly rare in Britain, except for Roman gold coins of later periods (I think ca 300 CE and later)? Which of the 20 iron age coins (more correctly, a form of bullion), or the three Roman coins, or three "later" coins (how much later?), where silver and which ...

Here's some axioms I've been working on that I think should be basic to historical-critical-theological research. Feel free to add ... 1. Stories About the Past are Not History 2. Theology is Not History 3. Rationalizations of Myth Are Not "History," But Are Actually Just New Versions of ...

You follow this stuff closely David. I thought I was the only person paying attention here. Reassuring. Nothing like a little Hegelian dialectic to stimulate the ol' brain cells. I just thought it was funny that spin was bringing up dialectic when I am not so sure that Hawthorne knows what it is, b...

I do want to thank you for your input on Eusebius and how confusing a lot if the Greek literature was back then. It makes it easier to see how a number of events that actually may not have happened at the same time could get lumped together. Perhaps that is what happened here!? It is not really cle...

Roger has had Eusebius' Chronicle "translated" into English... Problem? No, but wasn't that the one where you got help from the denizens of the internet to provide their crib translations, since you were dealing with lines from tables rather than discourse? My mind is fuzzy on the details...

I come from an Eastern Orthodox background and have always found their services to be absolutely stunning. I'm looking for some good recommendations on books that discuss liturgical development, especially as it relates to the church combining different aspects of worship from competing sects into ...

Does anyone know of an analysis of the Biblical books? All translations have to be limited to those fragments that can be made sense of in some reasonable way, otherwise what are you really "translating"? To get original language AND English translation of all the fragments, biblical and ...

spin wrote:And no, you [Hawthorne] didn't just objectively post these studies: you were deliberately engaged in dialectic.

I wonder, would you call Hawthorne a "left" or a "right" Hegelian?

Unfortunately,I don't remember where I pulled that Jerome quote from. I had used it in a post a while back and copied it here. With regard to Josephus and Tacitus, do you place the portents they describe in the 60s? They are both describing events believed by many, both Judean and pagan, to have fo...

I meant the source where you got the quote. What you quote is similar to, but not exactly the same as, what Roger has at his site. There are also multiple sources for English translations of Tacitus as well, some better than others. The quote you made (from Histories, Book 5 Chapter 13) was translat...
