That’s a good summary.
Most likely, indeed, Mark is the first gospel to have been written especially due to its inclusions of special stories in it not found in Mat and Luk, and the fact that it has the hard readings (mostly).
Goodacre has an earlier podcast on which he disputes Troy Martin’s take on 1st Corinthians 11, and whether covering could be translated as testicle. Dr. Heiser, do you have any thoughts on his refutation?
Thanks for the plug, Mike. There’s one more to come in this series, or just possibly two.
@Mark Goodacre: good — it’s good stuff to think through.
@Jeremy Suess: I haven’t seen it – I knew he was reading one (I think at the international SBL last year). I’ll email him about it.
@Mark Goodacre: Mark- you may also have seen an earlier reply, noting your recent paper on 1 Cor 11 (the testicle reading). Is that being published anywhere? I’d like a copy if it is or if you have one you could send me. Thanks!
