| May 11 at 17:33 | comment | added | Dieter | Thank you, @Nephesh. The BH forum disciplines me to think rather than react, and to carefully consider other perspectives. In trying to support my statements, I'm forced to look deeper into questions and controversies that I've never considered before. | |

| May 11 at 1:08 | comment | added | Dieter | I also like to consider all possibilities, but I also try to find a supporting clue. For example, it might be worthwhile considering whether Paul's experience with Alexander the coppersmith might have been the reason that Paul left his valued possessions with Carpus at Troas. I think it's possible considering contextual flow of thoughts in this passage, but it would still be nice to find one additional clue. | |
| May 10 at 18:44 | comment | added | Dan Moore | I appreciate the caution about torturing texts. And yet, this forum seems like a good place for floating new perspectives, which I might not want to be held to (yet) when writing elsewhere. Brickle's relatively recent observation about how John appears to be intentionally closing out the fourfold Gospel appears quite insightful, and there has been much recent research/thought concerning NT sub-collections and who might have been involved in publishing such, so putting these together seems like a reasonable speculation. I welcome the critiques! | |
