Many thanks for this Wieland. But I confess to being even more puzzled now than I was before. So far as I can tell, the statistical relationships tabulated by...

Thanks for the critique Jim, I look forward to hearing about the other chapters. I struggle with blank spaces. It seems to me that they prove that the scribes...
Some things I've never understood about the theory that the blank space at the end of Mark is long enough for the long ending: (1) Why would the scribe leave...
