However, it doesn't change the gist of the argument - most NT books seem to have not been written by who they are claimed to have been written.
What changes in the theology, if we remove the clearly pseudonymous books?
The majority of what we're left with is from Paul... Pauline christianity...?
Not to interrupt a great discussion, but what books would be left - in your "canon", so to speak?
Just going from Aractus' reply here:
- The 7 undisputed from Paul: Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon.
- 2 Thessalonians can be included
- Epistles of James and Jude
And... I can't see any other.
So, Randy, I deffer to your knowledge: what sort of christianity does that leave us with?
To Aractus: About proto-Mark, is it possible that this was just an oral tradition tale that was going around and never got written until Mark, who may have added his own flare to the tale?
