... About to take off for the cottage for five days, but I should clarify that what's throwing me about your description is the scope of the word 'Jewish'. If...
Hi Bob, ... Sure. Briefly, Winter argues that the elites among the new Christians in Corinth (granted there were not many) applied the same social mores to...
HI Bob, ... Actually, I'd not thought of this; thanks for raising it (and no, I think you understood my point well enough). However, I have to say that I'm not...
Ah... yep, "Jewish" is unnecessary since I'm assuming that Messiah is a Jewish term. Thanks for that. But re the last part of your para, now I am intrigued. Do...
Hi Bob, ... Glad you're note surprised:)! You are correct in the clarification that Paul disparages "the wisdom of this world," but that disparaging contrast...
TED: Even Luke, who in his Gospel passes himself off as a reliable historian in his preface, fabricates stories and alters the order of events (as Quintilian...

James Tabor has entered the blogging arena with one of his own. http://www.jesusdynasty.com/blog/ Needless to say, it focuses on his research on the historical...
... Well, I was thinking of Messianic claimants who may not have been ethnically Jewish. Having "a Jewish worldview" is another thing altogether and I don't...
Mike, thanks for this. As I've just noted to Ted, I'm up to my eyebrows in preparations for a trip o/seas. Would you mind if I get back to this in a couple of...
Ted, so sorry ... I missed this in the email snowstorm. I hope your computer is feeling better. I'm presently about to head off o/seas and it would be churlish...

A number of so-called "messianic claimants" are frequently sited. But I have so far not found any specific reference to these claimants as actually described...
... Called by whom? One of the problems in knowing if what you are asking about was actually done of any of these figures -- all of whom certainly acted ...
... I've had this same question myself, David. In RSG Wright speaks vaguely of "messianic movements between roughly 150 BC and AD 150" (p.700), and certainly...
... Josephus wouldn't acknowledge it, so the absence of the title in his descriptions doesn't mean much -- especially when certain parallels creep in anyway....
Listers, As some of you know ---if you have followed the exchange between Rikk Watts and I regarding my thesis that Mark created Judas' betrayal--- I maintain ...
Pardon the grammatical goof! Of course, in my last post, the clause set off by dashes should read: "if you have followed the exchange between Rikk Watts and...
... Ted, I do not have the time for a detailed response. However, I want to register a vigorous protest against your third presumption. I am NOT arguing that ...
... I'm not sure I'd be as sceptical as the abstract given, though in the details I think I agree to a great extent. Rhetoric, narrative art, and influence of...
Dr. Weeden, Do you by any chance have a copy of Bauckham's new book on the historicity of the Gospels? He argues that the Gospels are accounts of eyewitness ...

Has Bauckham's new book ('Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony') been published? At International SBL there was a proof copy with...
Listers, As further support for my position that the Gospel writers are not essentially concerned with the issue of faithfulness to historicity but rather the...
... Ted, I am at a loss as to how to answer this charge. Your subsequent mea culpa only serves to underscore your "J'accuse!" There is nothing that anyone can ...
Dr. Weeden, I think I agree with your article/address with a couple of adjustments. The things you say I agree with, but I disagree with your conclusion. One...
