I’m intrigued. Can you point to the passages regarding the boasting of the marks? I want to take a look.

I think there’s still an issue in the separating Jesus from Son of Man part of the hypothesis, separate chronologies notwithstanding, because in Mark 10:32-33 the writer seems to be directly equating Jesus with the Son of Man. the point is that the Passion story wants to persuade the readers that J...

But another poster brought up Mark 10:32-33. This would need explaining, for without an explanation it trips up this hypothesis. Is the aforementioned passage a later interpolation? evidently you have ignored the Trocmé's confutation of the Kunigunde's objection about Mark 10:33. I quote again Troc...

So - a Son of Man ''apparition''' a ghost, walked around Galilee while a Son of Man, in Jerusalem, 'coincides' with the earthly Jesus. I don't see the two as allies. The Jesus of the Passion Story is clearly judaizing, by construction (see how much is there of midrash from OT) and for a good reason...

That does make sense. Have multiple reputable archaeologists studied the house in Dura since the Yale dig in 1930? If so, what’s the consensus? And where do you lean regarding the Dura house? You had said something about graffiti earlier, IIRC. Are you hypothesizing that the art is more likely graff...

I’m not even going to try to get into the XP or IC stuff because I don’t know Greek. But am I correct in deducing that what’s being debated is whether Dura was a Christian place, or a Chrestian place in the 300s?

The Dura Europos church has wall paintings of New Testament scenes. (And Christian graffiti.) Archaeologist-excavated. The Excavations at Dura-Europos. Final Report VIII. Part II The Christian Building. 1967. There appears to be a good deal of interpretation going on there - do you have a link to t...

I don’t think dating is inherently dominated by churchianity. Well, I’ll clarify. What I mean is, from my limited observation, unbiased professional attempts to date things seems to be a standard practice in just about every genre of historical science. I don’t see any reason why the same scholarsh...

Ode 22 contains that same dragon imagery as Revelation. I'd be interested in the linguistics around this, is there an influence of one on the other? I haven't checked what the Lattke says about this in a while and have forgotten maybe I will look it up. Not sure in the Odes this is apocalyptic it s...
