The Greetings of Romans 16 and the Audience of Romans
This short paper considers and critiques the view that the named people greeted in Romans 16.3–16 are not also among the recipients of the letter to ‘all God's beloved in Rome’ (Rom 1.7). Variants of this view spring from the work of Mullins (1968): that the second-person greeting involves the greeting of ‘a third party who is not intended to be among the immediate readership of the letter’ (Mullins, 1968: 420) and are found in Thorsteinsson (200…
The Early Text of Mark
The paucity of manuscripts, alongside the relative absence of information about the text of Mark in the early period, is something that distinguishes the text of Mark from that of the other three canonical gospels. The only pre-fourth century manuscript of Mark is P45. Nevertheless, a good case can be made that our fourth-century witnesses represent copies of a well preserved early text of Mark, and that the more free forms of the text (such as P…
Is P4, P64 and P67 the Oldest Manuscript of the Four Gospels? A Response to T. C. Skeat
In 1997 T. C. Skeat, at 90 years of age, published an important article entitled ‘The Oldest Manuscript of the Four Gospels?’ in New Testament Studies.T. C. Skeat, ‘The Oldest Manuscript of the Four Gospels?’, NTS 43 (1997) 1–34. This article has recently been reprinted in J. K. Elliott (ed.), The Collected Biblical Writings of T. C. Skeat (NovTSup 113; Leiden: Brill, 2004) 158–92. Skeat was born on 15 Feb 1907, so I suppose there is a chance tha…
The Nazi Quest for an Aryan Jesus
This paper introduces perhaps the most neglected era in the history of the Quest for the historical Jesus. The era is National Socialist Germany and the particular Quest involves the attempt to prove Jesus was not Jewish but rather Aryan. Despite sev eral recent attempts to associate the contemporary Jesus Seminar with such ap proaches, the whole period is largely ignored in the standard works on the history of New Testament scholarship. This pap…
Re-inking the Pen
New Testament textual critics customarily discuss scribal errors under two headings: intentional errors and unintentional, accidental, or involuntary errors. Intentional errors are those made deliberately in order to improve or correct the text and involve corrections made to spelling or grammar, harmonisation to other passages (whether in the immediate context, in a parallel passage, or in an Old Testament source), and liturgical or theological …
On the Christology of the Gospel of Peter
ON THE CHRISTOLOGY OF THE GOSPEL OF PETER BY P. M. HEAD 1. Introduction The Gospel of Peter (henceforth: GP) has provoked at least three stages of debate. The first stage began when Serapion (bishop of Antioch, AD 190-210; see Eusebius, HE.V.22 ; V. 19.1-4) came across a copy of GP in Rhossus. He initially supposed it to be orthodox, but later, on hearing that the church there had turned to heterodox teachings under the leadership of one Marcianu…
