... Can you say a little something about your translation work? Might make for a good discussion. ... I'm not sure what that means, but one doesn't want to use...
I have been following your post on Meyer's translations and agree for the most part. It seems to me that he has taken other liberities that stray from the...

This is a report of my correspondence today with Prof. Marvin Meyer of Chapman University. There were four notes involved, and while I cannot quote from his...
Hi, Jesus may have been restating Psalm 118 verse 22, or he could have been referring to the building of the sacred temple, the temple of Solomon. The temple...
Hi Adriadne, (my thoughts on the subject) I have always questioned the translation of H6438 (pinnah) as "corner". The context in the OT really means a high...
... It is not possible to build much of a case about what gender Greeks considered something to be based on the gender of Greek words, unless they are proper...
[Mike,] thank you for posting this! It's answered the questions I had about Meyer's translation, although my personal jury is still out on his rationale. ...
... Thanks for your note, J.S. (and please sign your notes - that's the protocol, and I don't know if the name I put on it agrees with you.) The Marlowe piece...
I have an observation, Could the lack of male dominance in the translation be a subtle or not so subtle left over from assuming that Gospel of Thomas must be...

... Absolutely not. Neither Meyer nor Patterson think it's a gnostic text. Their translation(s) derive from two (unsound) principles: 1. That RWME corresponds...
My correspondence with Marvin Meyer having come to an unsatisfactory close, I wrote to Stephen Patterson last Monday to see if he would be willing to discuss...
Browsing through the Westar Institute's online translation of Thomas from TCG, I happened to run across another amusing anomaly - there's a second 'man' in it!...
I'm pleased to report that Steve Patterson has answered the note I copied to the list a couple days ago. I wrote back, mentioning a few new issues, but mainly...
Mike- Glad to hear Steven Patterson responded to your inquiry, but I think you should cut out the super-humble tone you're taking with them. It makes you sound...
Thanks, Andrew. I needed that - for more than one reason. Among other things, I was beginning to feel that I was talking to myself on the list, since no one...
It's probably pretty obvious that the Greek word 'anthropos' was the basis of the English words 'anthropology' and 'anthropoid' (a human-like being, especially...
This is to inform members that I've distilled the thoughts expressed here in a series of messages from 4/23 through 5/17 into an opinion piece titled "No Man's...

Hi Andrew, I think people are still reading elists, just not talking much, so you can still announce publications and reach a reasonable audience. The one...
Hi Andrew. I don't think e-lists are dying and crosstalk and John-Lit are still very much alive with robust memberships. I think we have reached a point,...

Thank you all for (what I hope will be just) initial feedback. Very helpful, indeed. Special thanks to: 1. Mike Grondin: For allowing this conversation to...
Hi Andrew, I've always believed that such meta-issues as you bring up are in order, and I think the other moderators agree, so don't worry about that. In fact,...
I am of the same opinion, Mike. I don't think it is as much blog competitions as it is cyclic activity and availability of the scholarly community. A new...
