Comment on No wonder Jesus didn't get a fair trial...

Maybe this is Mark Goodacre’s account instead of Ehrman.
It seems to me more likely that there’s more of the historical Jesus in Thomas than there is in John and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it was written earlier.
Thanks for the read. I’m someone who only recently started reading about early Christianity recently and it absolutely blows my mind how diverse the theology was so early.

Goodacre subscribes to Matthean priority over Luke, and also thinks Thomas is late (though if he were to apply his own methodology of editorial fatigue to Matthew 13:43 vs Thomas 57 it would indicate at least the core of Thomas predates Matthew).
And yes, it’s really a shame Lemmy doesn’t have an equivalent of /r/AcademicBiblical. I spent a lot of time there and it was a very fun community.
