Re: How Long Before They Include 'Jesus Might Not Have Existed' in University Courses About Christianity?
Personally I don't think making the statement that Jesus didn't exist is all that helpful either. If we are honest then all we can say is that a IC that is represented in the Gospel stories probably is a fictional construct. Also, if you think that people have their backs up over critical race theor...

Re: 616 Or?
Here is an example of a Zeta in the word zoon lower down in the page. https://i.ibb.co/4FwhDZY/Screenshot-21.png It looks more like the letter in δεξιᾶς at the top of the page (the tear in the papyrus is pointing down at it), which also has the squiggle in the center and the flat bottom stroke, lac...

Re: 616 Or?
psephisato is quite literally "let pebble". Didn't the ancient Greeks and Romans use pebbles to vote? White and black for yes and no.
