The program for the SBL meeting in New Orleans in November has been published, and Stephen Carlson has posted the details of the session he'll be a part of: ...
... Of course, one thing to keep in mind is that "three things" is a very common theme in a wide range of writings. In the gospels, it runs from Matthew's...
Andrew's comment stimulated an old memory of reading the Pirqe Aboth because the phrase, "three things," is used several times in those writings. Some of these...

Browsing through Gregory Riley's _Resurrection Reconsidered_ in preparation for conversing with Chris Skinner about his own recent John-Thomas book, I ran...
Mike, I am sorry to be getting to this late. I have been moving my family and all my "stuff" from Baltimore to Virginia Beach over the last few days and I am...
Since Christopher Skinner is now onboard, we have an opportunity to question him about the views expressed in his recent book _John and Thomas: Gospels in...
Hi Rick- I certainly appreciate your efforts, but the results of the programmatic survey of line sizes indicates the shortcomings of that method. Given that...
(My aplogies if this is a duplicate post) Hi Mike- Just as a FWIW, from my analysis there are 34 lines in the text where that line and the preceding 3 lines...
Almost all commentators are agreed that L100.4 was a later addition to L100. But who did it and why? This message suggests some answers to those questions,...
I am not following this carefully, but ... ... I am sure you're right about this, Mike. Given that the Copts didn't always borrow their Greek unaltered, if...
Michael Bird's blog "Euangelion" has infrequent but very good postings related to Gos.Thom. This past Saturday, he posted an entry titled "Gospel of Thomas:...
Greetings Mike- Thanks for the words of encouragement. I predict I will appreciate them more as time rolls along, especially in light of my initial attempt to...
Due to the impending closure of GeoCities near the end of October, I'll be relocating and renaming my site in the near future. The easiest way to do it is to...
Hi Rick- Thanks for the info on EIMHTI. Please don't get discouraged that you're "behind the curve", as you say. That's unavoidable, since I've been working on...
Hi Mike It strikes me that I am way behind the curve on a great deal of this entire matter. Nevertheless I'll comment on a couple of things, beginning with the...
A couple of miscellaneous points on this subject: 1. In my previous note, I mentioned the following numbers: (a) 16800 (number of letters in CGTh, minus 49-51)...
Hi again Rick, As a followup to my previous note, it occurred to me that you might be trying to count words within Coptic Thomas, and if that were so, it might...
... Sorry for the delay in responding, Rick, but I just got around to checking this. My recollection is that at least one of the NH codices had separated ...
I'd like to draw attention to the first in a series of posts by Andrew Criddle on S. Carlson's blog Hypotyposeis, under the general title "Neoplatonism and...
While "tidying-up" my electronic edition of the Coptic text of GTh I noticed that the particle ngi is sometimes un-joined from its antecedent and other times...
Hi Mike (Grondin) FWIW, I concur with your suggestion about the insider/outsider dichotomy. I'm not sure if you have ever had a chance to read it or not, but...
Hi Michael- Your suggestion that the "purpose" of the Gospel of Thomas was to meet some proselytizing requirement puts you in the company of lots of other...
Hi Mike, You seem to be getting off track. That's natural, given the wide and intense interest in the _original_ GTh, but the design features we're talking...

I’m not sure exactly when Mike first began to talk about certain signals of systematic arrangement that he has identified in CGth, but I confess that I was...
Sorry, but I should have said something about the "degree" or "level" of an NBX. Numerical series of the form n-m-n (where m is 0 if no midpoint) I would refer...
This being a slow time of year, it might be a good time to cover some dry theoretical issues like chiastic structures. In the past, I've characterized the...
One mark of a good theory is that it's able to predict things the current paradigm can't. Over the weekend (a holiday in the U.S.), it occurred to me that if...
