On the numbers game: Luke and Sinai traditions consistently mention seventy. However, when Moses and the seventy present themselves at the Tabernacle, they...
It is sometimes stated that Marcion created a Letter to the Laodiceans, but Tertullian states the following in Adv Marcion V: “We have it on the true...

Although this is way off-topic for Synoptic-L, I need to protest two statements below. 1. "Critical opinion (by which I do not mean M Barth) finds Ephesians to...
The question I posed doesn't (I think) require that we specify whether Ephesians is either genuine or pseudopigraphical. All I was asking is whether Marcion's...
To: Synoptic In Response To: David I On: Ephesians as Pauline From: Bruce If Ephesians is Pauline, and Mark is early, than Ephesians is relevant to the...
Reading Telford's book "The Theology of the Gospel of Mark" I find myself agreeing with everything he says in his analysis on pages 50 to 54 except for his...
... Dennis, I find myself in agreement with Telford on this point. Firstly, there is a clear a priori argument in favour of the label "Son of Man" having been...
Ron, The Aramaic merely said 'one like a human being' did it not ? It was the LXX that had the word for word translation huios tou anthropou that was...
The Aramaic has cebar 'enosh. (I'm not taking the time to use the proper transliteration.) Likewise, "the" LXX has hWS hUIOS ANQRWPOU (without the definite...
To: Synoptic In Response To: Mark Matson On: Critical Scholarship From: Bruce Mark recently protested (his word) two of my previous statements. It seems there...
... I would suggest that Paul does not use "Son of Man" because his mission is to Gentiles, and the term is Jewish and would have made sense only to a Jewish...
... David, Your explanation would appear to be inadequate because given your reasoning, Paul would not have used the term "Messiah" either, yet he never tires...

A good case for Paul's use of "christos" is from understanding his Greek thinking and background, that the word refers back to Greek sources, derived from...
... Richard, I don't think so. Paul wrote that the Messiah (Christ) comes from Israel (Rom 9:4-5). ... Actually I think he *was* anointed. The story in Mk...

Hardly 264 BCE, or Plato would be in the book of records for longevity. Could I gently request a little more checking of data and spellings than has been...
Jeffrey, Mk 14:3-9 looks to me like a (confused) record of a messaianic anointing because (a) the earliest extant records (the letters of Paul) take for ...
One final response to a subject clearly outside of the list's focus (and I will be silent): 1. One of your main arguments re: Markus Barth is by using The...
This is the only place in Paul's genuine writings where he refers to the role of "Christ" ("Christos") for the Jews, Philo also referred to the Greek Christos...
Paul's Christos was the "cosmic Christ" in heaven, having had faith in God to sacrifice himself, not the human Jesus. He did not "identify Jesus with the...
