My blog concerning the development of Christianity in the post Kitos and Bar Kochba era. An examination of the texts of the NT and Heresiarchs to understand its development and origins. It is also a place where I am pushing out unpublished papers and book chapters for public vetting. Comments and questions are always welcome.

Marcionite 1 Corinthians 15:1-11
Here is my analysis of the famous passage 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 to reveal the underlying Marcionite Original, and then a discussion of how I reached that opinion from the sources. This is a bit of a teaser for the release of my complete reconstruction of 1 & 2 Corinthians in Marcionite form.
1 Corinthians 15:1-3 – ὃ καὶ παρέλαβον and – κατὰ τὰς γραφάς {A}
15:4b-10 – κατὰ τὰς γραφάς … οὐκ ἐγὼ δὲ ἀλλὰ ἡ χάρις τοῦ θεοῦ ἡ σὺν ἐμοί

The most that could remain forms a simple coherent statement
