Re: The Marcionite gospel at a glance.
The anti-Marcionite background was merely a Trojan horse for developing this particular gospel to firmly found a new understanding of Jesus. This fits with recently discussed and elaborated concepts of euhemerization. 1. The notion that the narratives about Jesus developed out of texts such as Paul...

Re: My review of Richard Carrier's "On the Historicity of Je
A comment on Richard Carrier's blog: Alif: This paper [link below] deals with euhemerism as a theory that has been (mis-) treated in various ways by both ancient and modern writers. This theory, formulated by Euhemerus of Messene (late fourth century B.C.E.), maintained that Zeus and the other Olym...

Re: My review of Richard Carrier's "On the Historicity of Je
I think Carrier's usage of 'Euhemerized' is wrong if he thinks the product of the process can be a historicized ascending godman, but that this really doesn't impact his theory. There is no reason why someone couldn't create a story of a historicized ascending godman based on a celestial myth. It j...

Re: My review of Richard Carrier's "On the Historicity of Je
Wikipedia is a mess on it. This is interesting - http://onlinedigeditions.com/publication/?i=207716&p=32 "The early Christian euhemerism, on the other hand, concentrates on Euhemerus' earthly gods in order to show the superiority of the Christian God, but also to establish a clear-cut class...

Re: My review of Richard Carrier's "On the Historicity of Je
... Still, very strange he keeps getting the definition right ("gods are turned into historical men ") and the application wrong ("gods turned into historical ascended godman ") Well , he does say in that reply - " Consequently any historicizing of a God is doing what Euhem...

Re: My review of Richard Carrier's "On the Historicity of Je
I have read the Roubekas article on Celsus and if I understand well, it seems that Euhemerus was a rationalist insofar as his historical Uranus was not divine nor semi-divine while he was on Terra firma, and was deified post-mortem by the man Zeus because he was a ordinary king but benefactor of AL...

Re: My review of Richard Carrier's "On the Historicity of Je
... As far as I can see Euhemerus said the gods were once mortals ie. their origin was earthly. Yes, it seems Euhermerus said that, but falsely [/b]!! Surely, it makes no sense to turn this around to propose that the origin of the gods was heavenly and Euhemerus created an earthly existence for the...
