I’m currently sussing it out for logical divisions. I’m going on vacation once in August (Canada) and once in September (San Francisco). I’m thinking to do intro and part one (Revelation) in August. Then Parts II and III in September. How’s that? OK: My copy of Tarazi’s book on the Johannine Writings arrived yesterday. I’m currently sussing it out for logical divisions.

I’m going on vacation once in August (Canada) and once in September (San Francisco).

I’m thinking to do intro and part one (Revelation) in August. Then Parts II and III in September.

How’s that?

The logic of the Jesus Seminar-ish folks (that I've used myself, I admit) is that the *stories* in the Gospels are not usually true, although the sayings of Jesus are. The point being the community told the stories to keep the sayings in mind. Fr PNT seems to be saying the point of the stories (at least in Mark) was a political tract in support of Pauline inclusion of Gentiles. Sorry for the double post, but more…

In fact, I was rather astounded by the parallels. But that calls into question (in my head) the dominical content. Why would one want to do that? Peter: Yes, I’m boggled by it myself.

I can see now why opinion is so divided about Fr. Tarazi's writings. <i>Then there is a pivotal pericope where Timothy's leadership as Paul's successor is introduced (10:46-52)</i> This is the first time I've come across the notion that Timothy is to be identified with the son of Timaeus. But maybe I'm just ignorant. Just to be clear, he's talking about <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2010:46-52&version=50;" rel="nofollow">this passage</a>. Fascinating.

Fr. Paul's books rock because they are scholarly but very accessible - they are designed for people to read and learn about scripture.
