Gadarene, Gerasene and Gergesene Variants

Handout now completed for my SBL paper, but the challenge remains as to whether received wisdom can be overturned ... I don't have much experience with flying a kite.

how many copies are you doing?

Stephen C. Carlson said...

I'm in the same session. Is 50 enough?

Peter M. Head said...

Not if you are presenting Stephen. The crowds will be there. No room around the door, no room in the inn.

P.J. Williams said...

I'm an optimist and so am doing 80. I will, of course, recycle the remainder.

Peter Head,

But there isn't any inn! :)

Stephen Carlson,

I adopt "Gadarenes" in Mt. 8:28 and "Gergesenes" in Mk. 5:1. What's your take on it?

Yours in Christ,

James Snapp, Jr.


The membership of this blog is made up of evangelicals involved in academic study of textual criticism. Those with appropriate expertise and theological convictions who wish to be considered for membership should contact Peter Head or Tommy Wasserman. Those applying for membership must indicate that they have read either the OT or the NT in its original language(s), should be actively involved in text-critical research, and should be already contributing to the blog through comments. They should give e-mail details of an academic and a pastoral referee, a summary of their academic and/or ministry involvement, a statement of their doctrinal commitment (which may be by reference to various classic evangelical statements of faith, e.g. 39 Articles, Westminster Confession), and an indication of their area of interest within textual criticism. Non-members who wish to comment are not expected to be evangelical, but they are requested to respect the blog's ethos.
