Re: Interpolation in Pliny's letter about Christians

It seems to me, all the criticisms of this work have: 1) failed to understand what n-grams are and how they're applied stylometrically (as opposed to whole words/phrases) 2) Are woefully unaware of what computer models do and tell us. 3) really, really, really hate losing one more piece of the earl...

Re: Goodacre vs. MacEwen - The Matthean Posteriority Hypothesis

Both scholars accept the theory of Markan priority. I suspect there won't be a much discussion of Marcion (unless Berman sees questions on Marcion in the live chat and asks them about it). Best, Ken and once again we'll not get anywhere close to reality as long as scholars skip marcion and pretend ...

Re: The opening of Mark

It appears to be more complicated than first appears. Would a woman be present (maid)? Great question and I dunno. Support Staff, servants, slaves, women. What are their roles in the Male-Centric Judaic Culture? We know that Malchus had his ear cut off and he was the High Priest's slave. When Hawai...

Re: The opening of Mark

On the simple theory of Markan priority, we would have to conclude that Mark mentioned a few things without detail and that later writers expanded upon what Mark had written. Isn't that the direction of Christian narrative literature in general? Mark reports a short mission by Jesus and his death M...

Re: Another strong clue supporting Marcionite priority: the "disciples of John" are really Christians

Prof Vinzent is victim of the false belief that the disciples of John existed as an independent group, distinct from Christians. Given that false premise, he is obliged to assume that Marcion introduced the disciples of John because he was preserving a Jewish tradition from Judea, a tradition he co...

Re: πίστις Χριστοῦ (faith of Christ) survey question

I'm not sure there's a whole lot of interest in the topic or understanding of what's at stake in the issue on this forum though. From gryan's link "The book was originally submitted to the Very Short Introductions series as Pistis Christou: A Very Short Introduction. However, after its uncondi...
