Re: The Legend of James the Just and His Martyrdom
After taking another look at Clement ... I'm inclined to suspect that these two sources used Hegeisppus, since they both post-date Hegesippus I agree that Clement post-dates Hegesippus, and I'm just not sure whether Clement used Hegesippus or not. It's possible but not strongly indicated either way...

Re: The Legend of James the Just and His Martyrdom
... since they both post-date Hegesippus ... As to the date and place of composition, little can be said with certainty . Let's say that we accept this. It would imply that you're unable to use this as an argument for the direction of dependence (for the Second Apocalypse of James). Yet it doesn't ...

Re: The Date of Marcion
Thank you for this post, Ken. It's an interesting point about Basilides using Luke.
In the phrase Marcion's Evangelion, what relationship is there between Marcion and Evangelion?

Re: The Date of Marcion
The Anti-Marcionite Prologue appears to make Marcion contemporary with John and opposed by him: https://www.tertullian.org/fathers/anti_marcionite_prologues.htm The Gospel of John was revealed and given to the churches by John while still in the body, just as Papias of Hieropolis, the close disciple...

Re: The Date of Marcion
This is often quoted here ( Against Marcion 1.19): Well, but our god, say the Marcionites, although he did not manifest himself from the beginning and by means of the creation, has yet revealed himself in Christ Jesus. A book will be devoted to Christ, treating of His entire state; for it is desirab...
