Revealing Jesus: the Historical Christ Revealing Jesus: The Historical Christ St. Paul American Coptic Orthodox Church What do we know about Jesus? Can we prove the existence of God? NO Authorship of the Gospels Irenaeus, wri@ng about A.D. 180, confirmed the tradi@onal authorship: Mahew published his own Gospel among the Hebrews in their own tongue, when Peter and Paul were preaching the Gospel in Rome and founding the church there. A>er their departure, Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, himself handed down to us in wri@ng the substance of Peter’s preaching. Luke, the follower of Paul, set down in a book the Gospel preached by his teacher. Then John, the disciple of the Lord, who also leaned on his breast, himself produced his Gospel while he was living at Ephesus in Asia. Strobel, Lee (2008-09-09). The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus Dating the Gospels “The standard scholarly dang, even in very liberal circles, is Mark in the 70s, Mahew and Luke in the 80s, John in the 90s.” S@ll within the life@mes of various eyewitnesses of the life of Jesus. Strobel, Lee (2008-09-09). The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus Paul Stating the Creed Perhaps the most important creed in terms of the historical Jesus is in 1 Corinthians 15: For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. A>er that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same @me, most of whom are s@ll living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. • Crucifixion ~A.D. 30 • Paul’s conversion ~A.D.32 • Mee@ng with Ananias and others in Damascus • First mee@ng with the apostles in Jerusalem ~A.D. 35. • At some point along there, Paul was given this creed, which had already been formulated and was being used in the early church. Strobel, Lee (2008-09-09). The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus Non-Christian Writings: Josephus • Very important 1st century Jewish historian • Born A.D. 37 • A priest, a Pharisee • Most ambi@ous work: “The An@qui@es”, a history of the Jewish people from Creaon un@l his @me About this @me there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who wrought surprising feats and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Christ. When Pilate, upon hearing him accused by men of the highest standing among us, had condemned him to be crucified, those who had in the first place come to love him did not give up their affec@on for him. On the third day he appeared to them restored to life, for the prophets of God had prophesied these and countless other marvelous things about him. And the tribe of Chris@ans, so called aer him, has s@ll to this day not disappeared. Strobel, Lee (2008-09-09). The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus Non-Christian Writings: Tacitus, A.D. 115 • Tacitus recorded what is probably the most important reference to Jesus outside the New Testament. • He states that Nero persecuted the Chris@ans as scapegoats to divert suspicion away from himself for the great fire that had devastated Rome in A.D. 64. Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominaons, called Chris@ans by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pon@us Pilatus, and a most mischievous supers@@on, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…. Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty: then, upon their informaon, an immense mul@tude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind. Strobel, Lee (2008-09-09). The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus Non-Christian Writings: Pliny the Younger Pliny the Younger, a governor in Turkey, wri@ng in A.D. 111: I have asked them if they are Chris@ans, and if they admit it, I repeat the ques@on a second and third @me, with a warning of the punishment awai@ng them. If they persist, I order them to be led away for execu@on; for, whatever the nature of their admission, I am convinced that their stubbornness and unshakable obs@nacy ought not to go unpunished… They also declared that the sum total of their guilt or error amounted to no more than this: they had met regularly before dawn on a fixed day to chant verses alternately amongst themselves in honor of Christ as if to a god, and also to bind themselves by oath, not for any criminal purpose, but to abstain from the>, robbery, and adultery…. This made me decide it was all the more necessary to extract the truth by torture from two slave-women, whom they called deaconesses. I found nothing but a degenerate sort of cult carried to extravagant lengths. Strobel, Lee (2008-09-09). The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus Non-Christian Writings: Testimony of Crucifixion This phenomenon, evidently, was visible in Rome, Athens, and other Mediterranean ci@es. According to Tertullian… it was a “cosmic” or “world event.” Phlegon, a Greek author from Caria wri@ng a chronology soon aer 137 A.D., reported that in the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad (i.e., 33 A.D.) there was “the greatest eclipse of the sun” and that “it became night in the sixth hour of the day [i.e., noon] so that stars even appeared in the heavens. There was a great earthquake in Bithynia, and many things were overturned in Nicaea. Strobel, Lee (2008-09-09). The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus The Physical Experience of Jesus This letter was written about Christ by Rabo Lyolino chief Councilor in Jerusalem to Caser in Rome was found in the safe of Prince Sharaweeni of Italy: Your Eminence, It is my understanding that you have become increasingly less inclined to know what I usually tell you, and that you have become more anxious to know about this man who lives a virtuous life. They call Him the prophet of righteousness. His disciples say that He is the Son of God, Creator of heaven and earth and all that lies therein. Indeed, everyday we come to know about awesome and amazing things about this Jesus: He raises the dead and heals the sick with one word. He is upright in stature and so good-looking. His face strikes one with awe and wonder; those who look at Him are instantaneously fascinated by Him. They are awe-stricken and enthralled at once. The hair of His head reaches His ears and then falls on His shoulders. It has the color of dust, yet it glows and shines. Like Nazarenes, His forehead has a white spot. His forehead is smooth and yellowish, and His face is without wrinkles or special marks. His appearance inspires reverence, respect and veneration. His eyes are like the rays of the sun; no one can look at them steadily because of their brilliance. When He chastises someone, He instills fear; when He gives advice, He causes tears to flow. All is compelled to revere and respect Him on account of His awe-inspiring appearance. It is said that no one saw Him laughing; they only saw Him crying at times. During meetings, people feel content and fulfilled, but He hardly looks at them. When amongst them, He sits with the utmost of propriety. In His form and appearance He seems to be the most handsome person you can ever imagine. There is also a striking resemblance to His mother who can also be considered the most beautiful girl in this part of the land. So if your Eminence would like to see Him, let me know so I can swiftly attend to your command. He has mesmerized the whole city of Jerusalem with His vast knowledge and learning; yet, He has received no education. Sometimes He walks barefoot with His head uncovered. Some laugh at Him when they see Him. Yet, in His presence or when talking with Him, He captivates and fascinates people. They say that they have never seen or heard of man like Him in this part of the land. In fact, some Jews say that they have never heard or seen such wisdom such as this which Jesus demonstrates. Others are scornful; they complain to me saying that His teachings contradict our glorious doctrine. They criticize me vehemently. Some say that He has never angered or infuriated anybody; rather, they claim that most of those who have come to know Him have been made to feel better and have been touched by His grace and blessings.

  • The Empire Strikes: the Growth of Roman Infrastructural Minting Power, 60 B.C
    The Empire Strikes: The Growth of Roman Infrastructural Minting Power, 60 B.C. – A.D. 68 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics of the College of Arts and Sciences by David Schwei M.A., University of Cincinnati, December 2012 B.A., Emory University, May 2009 Committee Chairs: Peter van Minnen, Ph.D Barbara Burrell, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Coins permeated the Roman Empire, and they offer a unique perspective into the ability of the Roman state to implement its decisions in Italy and the provinces. This dissertation examines how this ability changed and grew over time, between 60 B.C. and A.D. 68, as seen through coin production. Earlier scholars assumed that the mint at Rome always produced coinage for the entire empire, or they have focused on a sudden change under Augustus. Recent advances in catalogs, documentation of coin hoards, and metallurgical analyses allow a fuller picture to be painted. This dissertation integrates the previously overlooked coinages of Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt with the denarius of the Latin West. In order to measure the development of the Roman state’s infrastructural power, this dissertation combines the anthropological ideal types of hegemonic and territorial empires with the numismatic method of detecting coordinated activity at multiple mints. The Roman state exercised its power over various regions to different extents, and it used its power differently over time. During the Republic, the Roman state had low infrastructural minting capacity.

Beside you is the great equestrian statue of the emperor, before you the vast Basilica Ulpia, crowded with the usual mêlée of jurists and scribes, oicials and petitioners. High above its roof is another statue of Trajan, glinting down from the summit of his victory column. As you make your way further into the forum, your eye is caught by the colourful carvings on the column’s shaft; but you can’t help also being struck by the buildings that lank it, the two monumental wings of the Bibliotheca Ulpia.1 One of them houses a copy of Trajan’s Dacian war, a textual account of his Danu- bian victories to complement the triumphal scenes winding up the column outside.2 What other scrolls you might have found in this double library is now a matter of speculation. Archival material for sure, such as the prae- tors’ edicts that would one day be called up by Aulus Gellius;3 butitisa fair bet that literary works featured too,4 Greek and Latin.5 If so, here was a building grandly proclaiming its imperial patron’s investment in the writ- ten word, both documentary and literary, and in both world languages.6 The Bibliotheca Ulpia was not a public library as we know them, with bor- rowing rights and hushed reading rooms for research.7 As well as consulting the collection, visitors may have come to marvel at the statuary or attend 1 For an architectural description of the library, see Packer 2001: 78–9; on its position, Packer 1995: 353–4.

  • Theophilus of Antioch
    0165-0183 – Theophilus Antiochenus – Ad Autolycum Theophilus to Autolycus this file has been downloaded from: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf02.html Fathers of the Second Century Philip Schaff 85 THEOPHILUS OF ANTIOCH Introductory Note 867 TO THEOPHILUS OF ANTIOCH. [TRANSLATED BY THE REV. MARCUS DODS, A.M.] [A.D. 115–168–181.] Eusebius praises the pastoral fidelity of the primitive pastors, in their unwearied labours to protect their flocks from the heresies with which Satan contrived to endanger the souls of believers. By exhortations and admonitions, and then again by oral discussions and refutations, contending with the heretics themselves, they were prompt to ward off the devouring beasts from the fold of Christ. Such is the praise due to Theophilus, in his opinion; and he cites especially his lost work against Marcion as “of no mean character.”521 He was one of the earliest commentators upon the Gospels, if not the first; and he seems to have been the earliest Christian historian of the Church of the Old Testament. His only remaining work, here presented, seems to have originated in an “oral discussion,” such as Eusebius instances. But nobody seems to accord him due praise as the founder of the science of Biblical Chronology among Christians, save that his great successor in modern times, Abp. Usher, has not forgotten to pay him this tribute in the Prolegomena of his Annals. (Ed. Paris, 1673.) Theophilus occupies an interesting position, after Ignatius, in the succession of faithful men who represented Barnabas and other prophets and teachers of Antioch,522 in that ancient seat, from which comes our name as Christians.

  • Antioch and the Earthquake (115
    Alessandro Cavagna [email protected] Antioch and the earthquake (114/115 AD). Panel JS7 “Historiography and Comparative Perspectives on Natural Disasters” (Joint session) Organizers: Shigemitsu KIMURA (Teikyo University; Science Council of Japan) Chikako KATO (Yokohama National University). Seismography – as is well known – is a relatively recent science. It suffices to remember that still in 1902, when Giuseppe Mercalli drafted his scale constructed around ten degrees of intensity (and which was then brought to twelve degrees), the assessment of a seismic event was fundamentally based on the observation of the damages. The need to assess an earthquake scientifically would become an absolute need only a few years later: Kiyoo Wadati built a qualitative scale in 1931, but the studies carried out more or less at the same time by Charles Richter were to meet with greater success, as he in turn presented a system whereby the intensity (which depended on a subjective observation) was substituted by the concept of magnitude or the calculation of the mechanical force (expressed in joules) released by an earthquake in its epicentre1. The absence of an eminently scientific approach to the natural phenomenon and therefore of a method based on instruments aimed at the measurement of the natural event makes archaeoseismology and historical seismology quite a complex area of study, above all when one considers the irreparable lack of documents characterising the analysis of the ancient world. Even though Aristotle, Seneca, Pliny and others recorded the observations of earthquakes in their works, it must be remembered that for the Greek and Roman world there is no existence of a specific literature dedicated to natural disasters or to the scientific analysis of the same.

  • Rule and Revenue in Egypt and Rome: Political Stability and Fiscal Institutions
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Rule and Revenue in Egypt and Rome: Political Stability and Fiscal Institutions Version 1.0 August 2007 Andrew Monson Stanford University Abstract: This paper investigates what determines fiscal institutions and the burden of taxation using a case study from ancient history. It evaluates Levi’s model of taxation in the Roman Republic, according to which rulers’ high discount rates in periods of political instability encourage them to adopt a more predatory fiscal regime. The evidence for fiscal reform in the transition from the Republic to the Principate seems to support her hypothesis but remains a matter of debate among historians. Egypt’s transition from a Hellenistic kingdom to a Roman province under the Principate provides an analogous case for which there are better data. The Egyptian evidence shows a correlation between rulers’ discount rates and fiscal regimes that is consistent with Levi’s hypothesis. © Andrew Monson. [email protected] 1 Explicit rational choice models are rare in studies of Greek and Roman political history.1 Most ancient historians avoid discussing the underlying behavioral assumptions of politics and opening them to criticism or potential falsification. Often the impetus for theoretical debate has to come from social scientists willing to venture into ancient history. The topic of this paper was treated in one chapter of Levi’s book Of Rule and Revenue (1988), which introduces a rational choice model for Roman taxation. The latter is part of the growing social

The site is on the left bank of the river Jantra (Iatrus), ca. 20 km south-east of the Roman town Nicopolis ad Istrum, and was within its territory (regio Nicopolitana). It is presently in the collection of the Department of Classical Antiquities at the National Museum of Archaeology in Sofia (inv. no. A 8416). The diploma was given to the late academician Prof. D. P. Dimitrov in 1945.1 In 1976 it was described and placed in the inventory of the Museum by Dr. V. Gerassimova-Tomova after it had been brought to the Museum by Dr. M. Chichikova, widow of Professor Dimitrov, in 1974. (National Archaeological Museum, photo neg. no. ‘74/1486-1494.) The diploma is almost complete although sections of both tablets are now missing. On the outer face of tabella I the upper margin and two complete lines of script and part of the third are lost. The remainder of this tablet is represented by one large and two smaller fragments which join together but lack a triangular segment from the side of the lower right quadrant and an irregular section of the bottom edge, which creates a gap in the last three lines of text.

  • Christian Communities in Western Asia Minor Into the Early Second Century: Ignatius and Others As Witnesses Against Bauer
    JETS 49/1 (March 2006) 17–44 CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES IN WESTERN ASIA MINOR INTO THE EARLY SECOND CENTURY: IGNATIUS AND OTHERS AS WITNESSES AGAINST BAUER paul trebilco* i. introduction Walter Bauer’s book Rechtgläubigkeit und Ketzerei im ältesten Chris- tentum was published in 1934. The English translation, entitled Orthodoxy and Heresy in Earliest Christianity and published in 1971,1 gave the book a new lease on life. This book has had a significant impact on scholarship on the NT and the early Church. It is to this work and its legacy that I will devote this paper. Bauer summarized his argument in this way: “Perhaps—I repeat, per- haps—certain manifestations of Christian life that the authors of the church renounce as ‘heresies’ originally had not been such at all, but, at least here and there, were the only form of the new religion—that is, for those regions they were simply ‘Christianity.’ The possibility also exists that their adherents constituted the majority, and that they looked down with hatred and scorn on the orthodox, who for them were the false believers.”2 Both chronological and numerical dimensions were important in Bauer’s argument. He thought that what would later be called heresy was often “primary” and hence the original form of Christianity, and that in some places and at some times, heresy had a numerical advantage and outnumbered what came to be called orthodoxy.3 * Paul Trebilco is professor and head of the department of theology and religious studies at The University of Otago, P.O.
