Feb 11	revised	How is literary dependence or relationship established? added 3362 characters in body
Feb 11	comment	How is literary dependence or relationship established? @swasheck: Fair enough, then you'll have to wait for someone more expert than me. My knowledge is only at the beginner level.

Feb 7	comment	How authentic is Codex Sinaiticus? @FraserOrr: My understanding is that it's very rare for scholars who believe in theopneustos to think that this belief implies that the synoptics are independent. At any rate, I would be very interested to hear examples of the "serious scholars" you're mentioning over at the other question.
Feb 6	comment	Literary independence of the synoptics I'm having trouble figuring out how to clarify this rigorously. For example, I would count Matthew having memorized Mark prior to writing his gospel as literary dependence, even if he learned it orally from someone who had read it and memorized it.
Feb 6	comment	Literary independence of the synoptics I would be interested in examples of people who think that they share common oral tradition pre-dating the written gospels, but that none of the authors had read (or heard recited) any of the other gospels.

Feb 6	comment	How authentic is Codex Sinaiticus? In particular, I'd be very surprised to find conservative scholars who think Luke was written in isolation from the other gospels, in light of Luke 1:1-3.
Feb 6	comment	How authentic is Codex Sinaiticus? @FraserOrr: (You meant to say Matthew and Luke share a source called Q, not Matthew and Mark. As you say, plenty of scholars don't think Q existed. I did not mean to imply that disagreeing with Q was a fringe viewpoint, only that saying the synoptics were "written in isolation" is very rare among scholars (evangelical or not).)
Feb 6	comment	How authentic is Codex Sinaiticus? @FraserOrr: Literary dependence between the synoptics is in a very different category historically than things like Q or JEDP. The Augustinian hypothesis (Mark used Matthew, Luke used Matthew and Mark) goes back to the 5th century and is the traditional view of the church, while JEDP or Q are modern ideas coming out of higher criticism.
Feb 6	comment	How authentic is Codex Sinaiticus? You're free to believe what you want, but you should be aware that your opinion is incredibly uncommon among Christian scholars going back at least to St. Augustine.
Feb 6	comment	How authentic is Codex Sinaiticus? @Mawia: I just mean that according to most scholars, the author of Matthew used a written copy of Mark as the source for about half of the material of his gospel. (According to a minority of scholars, the copying goes the other way.) Thus the "original" of half of the material in Matthew is Mark. I mentioned this example, because it's less controversial than say John 21 or Luke 1-2 being later additions to previously existing works. At any rate, this is getting very far afield from the original question.
Feb 5	comment	How authentic is Codex Sinaiticus? To give another example of the trickiness of "original", you might say the original version of Matthew is the Gospel of Mark!
Feb 4	comment	How authentic is Codex Sinaiticus? I'm a little confused about what your question is. I would find it easier to answer if you made your question more precise.
