Dura Europos excavations revealed a Christian manuscript and a Christian house-church, both dated before 256. There is a huge bibliography, some of it available online, including on more recent (French-Syrian) excavations there, all of which confirmed, by coins, by dated documents, etc., the dating...

But why do you think his source for what he says about Hegesippus, Clement or Josephus (barring the one statement he takes from Origen) is anything but Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History, book II? Why think Jerome is verifying Eusebius references rather than just relying on Eusebius? That doesn't sou...

Given that you have studied and taught at Duke (home of my heroes in the πίστις Χριστοῦ debate, Richard Hays and Doug Campbell) I'm dying to know which side of this debate you are on, and what you think is at stake. gryan, I lean toward the subjective genitive advocated by Richard Hays (and Douglas...

I'm wondering: What drives some scholars to the MPH hypothesis? Are there shared tendencies among them? I was trying to find the response I gave to a similar question on another forum but could not locate it. I think the initial attraction of the current form of the Matthean Posteriority Hypothesis...

So, too, with Origen. He cites Josephus, and I have no difficulty locating a similar passage in Josephus. That's why I think Origen misremembered something about that passage, because I can compare what nearly matches what he's talking about, found where he told me to look, with what he said. Do yo...

Re: "the MPH (certainly Garrow, and I think Huggins and MacEwen as well)." I wasn't trying to be methodologically innovative, so thanks, Ken, for letting me know a little more how the major players in this field operate. Checking out Garrow's blog for the first time, I stumbled onto this:...
