... Robert, Dick Horsley and Bill Herozg (especially the latter) would agree with you. And I think Dick will be doing an online seminar with us this month --...
... Well, if that's the extent of your definition, then "major historical player" becomes just about meaningless. I think you need to say more to avoid the...
Gordon, Is part of your thinking about Paul that his impact was also geographically limited, i.e. Greece/Asia Minor? Is it reasonable to speculate that the...
Howdy Brian, I'd like to re-open this discussion after I've read the Jesus Seminar's most recent Acts material in which, I have been told, the majority have...
Mike, You raise some good points, none of which, in my opinion, have anything to do with the reconstruction of Marcion's Gospel of Luke! If you have a more...
Hi Don, ... Yes. I just don't know how much of those Acts travels have anything to do with history. And what I accept as from the historical Paul are...
Hi Mike, ... I don't find meaningless that the movement spread to Africa and up into Syria and perhaps even to Rome with no Paul. I don't find meaningless...
... Fair enough, but note that even if it was written c. 115 CE, it is still way too early to be a response to Marcion. Also, for the sake of balance, you may...
Howdy Brian, Just to be clear, one Jesus Seminar scholar wrote a paper dating Acts to about 115. The vote of the fellows, however, was strongly in favour of...
... Dear Loren Rosson: Are you claiming that Jesus and his disciples had no denarii with them? Are you further claiming that the reason for this was that...
... I have my doubts that Philo is helpful in interpreting either the Markan or the Thomas version of the text question testing. But be that as it may, and in...
Don, I apologize for using your thread and its title as a springboard for another, but not unrelated, issue that's one of my own pet peeves. Perhaps anyone...
... Admittedly this coin predated the time of the incident depicted in the Gospels, and that at the time of the Gospel incident, the denarius of Tiberius,...
... Due to a mathematical quirk in the Jesus Seminar's vote evaluation formula, it is possible for certain outcomes in the 0.75-0.83 range to have a minority...

Hey Gordon- Your reply to my latest note confused me at first, but I think I know the source of the misunderstanding. In the first part of my note, I was...
Hi Ken, I'm one of those folks who think that Luke-Acts is from circa 110 to 120. I do think he had access to Q, an early parable collection (part of what...

... with ... Frank, Mk 6:37 can hardly be taken as an indication that Jesus' closest followers (especially itinerant ones) carried money with them. Don't...
... The 'denarii' of 6:37 would have been silver coins of some sort; denarii or drachms seem to have been pretty well interchangeable. Either way, they would...

Hi Mike, Sorry for the confusion. Let me go at it like this... 1. The obvious... "the inner circle" of the charter members of an organization/ movement are...
