Mike, Thanks for the info. The new site seems to work just fine. I'll make sure to update the site info on my blog. Thanks for all you do. Chris ... [Non-text...
This is to notify everyone that my new website has been down the last two days due to an unexpected difficulty. It seems that I followed the wrong set of two...
After mulling over several different ways to measure the success (or lack thereof) of the list, I now think that a simple metric may be best. An average rate...
Hi all, I wanted to let you know I have updated the files on my download page: http://thomasgospel.weebly.com/downloads.html 1. I have tried as much as I was...
As an incidental note (your points 8 & 9) and the number 24, recalls the imagery associated with the Body of Truth, or Logos of the Valentinian Markos, whose...
Hello James, Can you give us the source and references to this material please. I for one would be very interested to read it. Thank you, Ariadne Green...
Hi Ariadne, Â For primary sources see the following discussions in the following secondary studies from which I made the following notes: Â As an incidental...
... Mike, Thanks for these links. As you may recall, I had extensive conversations with Davies on the old CrossTalk (ca. 1996-1998), mostly concerning his book...
... Mike, ... Stevan writes elsewhere that the list genre should by all odds be early, and I think he is right. So I would re-write his sentence above as "What...
Usually the gospel of John is considered to be later than Mk, Mt, Lk. But I think it may perhaps be the other way around. Doesn't it make more sense that...
I think Stevan meant this to go at least to GTh, and perhaps also ... Good! Thanks for your reply. I had written:(previous correspondence is in italics) ... It...
Hi Jeff, It's hard to know how to respond to your note, since your reasoning is hard to follow. There appear to be at least two blunders, however, ... That...
... Somewhat oversimplified, I'm afraid. The implication is that Thomas has no point of view, and so one has to be created for it. (This derives from a...
... Oh dear. ... That's not so much an implication as a correct summary. ... No. This derives from reading Thomas. I don't find a point of view there. I think...
Don't get me wrong, I love interacting with Steve D., but things are getting a little confusing around here trying to properly post messages that Steve...
... By the time of Athanasius, wasn't Thomas being read and used by the Manicheans? That would be enough not to ignore it as light reading. Stephen -- Stephen...
... Hmm... hadn't thought of that. Good point. Another response might be that anything called a "gospel" other than than the main four would have had to be...
OK, maybe this will work. I was subscribed long ago under an extinct email address. Thank you Michael for helping straighten this out, if indeed it is...
... One thing at a time here. I know you're a logician, so I'll concede the word "necessary"-- your word, not mine. It is true that narrative has no...
... I should have checked this sooner, but looking at what has survived of Athanasius' 39th festal letter, he does not condemn any apocryphal text by name,...

... Nice try, Bob, but no cigar. Though there may be a hint of chronological order in some of the ways we normally use the word 'contrary', the meaning of the...

... Hi James, interesting to see that these numbers 6 and 24 seem to have been linked to esoteric and exoteric meanings. '24' being a more exoteric meaning...
... Hi Tim, The lack of more verbal parallels between John and the synoptics may in fact be hinting to John being independent of the synoptics - I think. If...
