Hi everyone, I am interested to learn from anyone on this list who has read Clayton Croy's book, The Mutilation of Mark's Gospel. Do you find this book's...
I've shared a review I wrote of Croy's book on my blog at http://exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com/2007/07/mutilation-of-marks-gospe l.html If I recall...
It has been some time since I looked at it, and I will have to review the book, but I was not that impressed. It was also discussed at the SBL this last fall,...

I appreciate this very interesting discussion. Several of you have asked after Croy's details about the mechanical aspect of his thesis. He argues on pages...
