    The problem with the "fan fiction" analogy is that it could explain authorial intentions but not reception. People took (take) this stuff way more seriously than most comic book readers. For instance, isn't todays Mariology derived from the Protoevangelium of James? That remains a global phenomenon in 2024, and devotees of Mary do not treat Lourdes like Comic-Con. Other than that, this interview was awesome and I love the channel you have put together.

    • @mcosu1
      @mcosu1 5 днів тому

      Come to think of it, there's a problem with using fan fiction as an analogy for authorship as well. Do we know that the apocryphal authors intended their work as fictional?

    • @WABTpodcast
      @WABTpodcast 5 днів тому

      Thanks so much! "Fan fiction" is an imperfect analogy that more conveys the curiosity aspect of writing these texts- certainly they were taken more seriously, as you point out. However, I know some comic priests who take Batman canon and lore pretty seriously as well :)

    • @mcosu1
      @mcosu1 4 дні тому

      @WABTpodcast True. I find early Christian pseudoepigraphy so fascinating but I don't think it's as simple as "forgery" like Ehrman says. Fan fiction is good because doesn't imply the authors were acting dishonestly. Maybe we'll never know

    I wonder if Dr BeDhun thinks that Manichaeanism played a direct role in the eclipse of Zoroastrianism in Persia especially since it can be seen as having an influence on Islam. Any book recommendations regarding this topic and what volume of the Noesis Journal has the article you mentioned on Manichaeanism?

    Many heritics used secrecy to consciously differ from the norm. Heresies started small and locally. Christians had the sense of apostolicity reflecting the Jewish sense of heresies firing up. The Catholic view was the original form that had proponents in every place.

    Thank you for this conversation. Very excited to hear that Mina Monier will be publishing an Arabic version of the Diatessaron. I did some work on the Diatessaron, particularly its traditions about the crucifixion, last sayings of Jesus, and the co-crucified bandits, in my UVA dissertation. The order of materials proved quite diverse across different linguistic traditions. Question for James: are any scholars working on a Syriac critical edition? It would seem to be a next logical step after the Arabic critical edition is done, working backwards from the Arabic text in consultation with Ephrem's Diatessaron Commentary.

    • @WABTpodcast
      @WABTpodcast Місяць тому

      Thanks so much Dr Bilby! Textual fluidity is a fascinating aspect of these traditions.

    • @jamesbarker7650
      @jamesbarker7650 Місяць тому

      I'm not sure, but it would be a good project. Leloir's work on the Diatessaron wording in Tatian's commentary is still the most important resource for that. At the same time, in some of my work I've found a phrase here or there that Leloir might have missed or misclassified, so it would be a good project just to re-do what Leloir did ... and see how similar the conclusions are. One critique of my book was that I didn't pay any attention to all the testimonies about the Diatessaron in Syriac. That would make a nice compilation, but my point in the book was to work with extant, complete harmonies [the Dura parchment being the lone exception]. In other words, I wanted to know how consistent the manuscript tradition was; the testimony tradition was beyond my purview.
