One questio...Hey Mark,<BR/><BR/>Great job covering all this. <BR/>One question: Doesn't the inscription on IAA 80-500 have the following inscription, Μαριαμνου Μαρα? I think most people are agreed that the second name here is "Martha"? But where is Mary Magdalene EVER called "Martha"? <BR/><BR/>Have I got the right information here? Other than Duane Smith over at Abnormal Interests I'm not seeing others mentioning this so I'm wondering if I'm just mistaken. But it seems to me that this should be addressed. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work...Michael Barberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245959720626825944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759844.post-73078124784711297302007-02-28T07:11:00.000-05:002007-02-28T07:11:00.000-05:00Hi Mark.

The Marys of Early Christian Tradition (ed. F.S. Jones, SBL, 2003) 75-89. He argues for Mary Magdalene rather than Mary of Bethany in this text, but he also notes a mix of Mary traditions and inventions. Perhaps of note, on page 80: "To be clear, I am not interested here in the reconstruction of the historical figure of Mary Magdalene, but in her portrayal in literary texts, particularly in the Acts of Philip."<BR/><BR/>Stephen GoransonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
