His proposal is an interesting variant of a standard sceptical theory; mythicism borrows hyper-radically from all sceptical theories wholesale to go beyond normal sceptical theories.

Koester himself (much moreso Crossan) might be appealed to for suggestions about where the pressure starts to be applied in layers even before GosMark's composition.

The PMPN evidence that Koester talks about shows that the material they drew upon in writing the Gospels was around from an early period, I doubt they had meany gentile coverts before Paul. Scholars are now dating the canonical to the 60s, a5t least Mark and Matt. Paul died in 64. so would the communities that produced the Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-59179775501553331892016-08-27T08:25:03.813-07:002016-08-27T08:25:03.813-07:00...then you remembered one of my first paragraphs,......then you remembered one of my first paragraphs, yay!<br /><br />Also, duh.<br /><br />Also, registering for comment tracking. {g}<br /><br />JRPJason Pratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602238179676591394noreply@blogger.com
