To: Synoptic Especially: Lance On: Ascripture From: Bruce LANCE: I am saying that to call 2 Peter 'ascripture' would be interpreted to mean it is "free or...
Lance, That was more or less the whole idea. An ascriptive text is not an authorial text, and lacks whatever authority the claimed authorship would have ...
To: Synoptic On: Ascription From: Bruce Speaking of 2Pt, easily the least enthusiastically included of the eventually canonical NT writings, the situation...
To: Synoptic On: Kym Smith's Johannine Solution From: Bruce Kym has attempted to read my recent note as a reaction to his work; it was instead a reason for not...
Dear Listers, Though I am sure I will receive a resounding rebuke (which would be better than the usual resounding silence!) I must ask whether or not the...

Dear Listers, I have just completed a book (hinted at a couple of months ago on the Johannine List) on the Synoptic Problem. The book is titled 'The Synoptic...
