Akhi Andrew:
I love your theories on biblical transmission. So many people think that exegesis can only be done when the writings comes out and smack them in the face. I found a christian resource from an early church father (Jerome; in an argument with Augustine) who names Minim as "The Synagogues of the East who are neither Christians nor Pharisees". Unfortunately, I can't find Augustine's writings on the matter; only Jerome's response to him. It appears as though Augustine was Pro-Torah.
Quote:I find that Gwynn's edition represented in The UBS 1979 Syriac Bible is probably the closest to the Aramaic original we have at our disposalI agree with your theory on Yochanan's authorship of Revelation. btw, can you give me a link where I can pick up that edition?
