Why am I still mulling over Francis Watson's online paper on the GJW fragment, you ask? Well, two reasons: (1) I'm still working on my proposed page...
The last couple days, I've been working on a GJW page to add to my website. How it came about was that I was getting frustrated keeping track of a handful of...
As scholars await the ink test on the GJW fragment (which, however, as I understand it, can be decisive only if negative), there are two peculiar features of...
As is obvious, the GJW fragment controversy has been a boon to our list. There had in fact been only one posting (my monthly report for August) prior to Tim...
Pertinent to Andrew's latest note to the list, and mine immediately preceding, I had an interesting interaction with the blog of Alin Suciu and Hugo Lundhaug...
http://ntweblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-gospel-of-jesus-wife-latest-news.html Thanks, Mark and Andrew. I had started writing a commentary on Andrew's paper...
Further remarks on Francis Watson's analysis of the King fragment: (agreeing as I do that GJW is a god-awful designation for it) 1. Watson's strongest argument...
I've been asked offlist to comment on the Coptic word for 'wife' in the King Fragment. I don't know an awful lot about it, but I'll report what I think I do...
I'm dazzled by the furor the GJW fragment has created. Lots of folks, completely unimpeded by the absence of their qualifications to pass judgment, simply...
At the International Congress of Coptic studies, Harvard's Karen L. King announced her examination of a Coptic papyrus that has recently emerged. It has been...
Jack, Ian, et al: Heaven knows I'm not a fan of Fox News, but the folks quoted in the web article are all reputable, so I can't complain about that. The...
Though better than July, August was another disappointing month. Nineteen messages were posted, second lowest August on record, but perhaps even worse was that...
Larry Hurtado has posted some juicy tidbits on his biblioblog today: http://larryhurtado.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/early-manuscripts-of-the-gospel-of-thomas/ ...
Chris Skinner reports the sad news that Marvin Meyer, a giant in the field of Thomasine and other extracanonical studies, has passed away. The most complete...
In the last couple days, I've been investigating the translations of the Gospel of Thomas which appear widely on the web under the name of Craig Schenk. I've...
Frustrated by my antiquated system (now over 10 years old), I finally managed today to get through the YouTube video I had mentioned back on July 5th, namely...
Ref: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxi5-6LdSpE (quotations below are my transcriptions) Early on in his lecture, Martin mispeaks himself, then later corrects...
... Wow this is cool. My "Early Christian Writings" website ( http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/ ) was picked to be the cool site of the day for the Kim...
Well, there's no getting around the fact that last month was a dismal one for us. There were only 11 messages, which is the lowest July on record. The number...
Although this subject wouldn't normally be relevant on our list, it's been way too quiet around here, so I'm giving myself a little leeway. Besides, the issue ...
The list being too quiet for too long, it seemed a good time to work on a post I've long delayed, namely a comparison of three translations that attempt to ...
For those who haven't yet read it, a recent biblioblog posting of interest: http://jamestabor.com/2012/07/09/discovering-the-original-gospel-of-thomas/ Mike...
Alerts to reputable Thomas material don't come often to my email, but today there were two. The "old" in question is a video that's been on YouTube since Sept...
This is traditionally a slow time of year, with many scholars on vacation. There were 18* messages posted in June, relatively low for the month, but the counts...
I'm trying to find out whether anyone in a position to know more than I do on the subject (not hard!) can comment on possible links between the logia, Thomas,...
At the request of Tim Staker, a new file has been posted to our Files Section: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gthomas/files/Delphic.pdf. It's a piece that Tim ...
