An absolutely great talk by Vinzent. I especially liked the why of Marcion; it fits with the "against Judaism" that I see in Thomas (he mentions him once at 35:25) and the "against Judeans" of which he doesn't say anything, but that is present in John
Fantastic English really, especially for a German
