Hi everyone. I have been neglecting the NT Blog and the NT Pod for far too long because of the demands of the day job, and my frantic attempts actually to write something! But I am daring to hope that it really won't be very long until the blog and the podcast are back. In the mean time, I am happy to share my involvement with the following new project:
My colleague and friend over at UNC Chapel Hill, Bart Ehrman, is launching the Biblical Studies Academy (BSA), and he talks about it here. I am offering the first online course in this venue, and it is entitled "The Mysteries of the Synoptic Gospels," and I have a short introduction to it in this venue, at around the three minute mark.
Further details about my course, as well as the BSA, are here:
The Mysteries of the Synoptic Gospels
I am really looking forward to teaching in this new online forum.
In association with the new course, I have recorded a few conversations. The first was with Megan Lewis here:
What are the Synoptic Gospels?

That's exciting news Mark! And it's surely been a while.
I would like to introduce another set of Synoptic Gospels, which are neither canonical, nor extra-canonical, but super-canonical: Luke and Marcion have a Synoptic relation to Thomas, with 59 of the 115 Thomasine logia shared *by both of them*, going by the reconstruction of Klinghardt
That's over half! Simply amazing, and evidently this affects the Synoptic Problem in essential ways

Filed as and under Raw Research at the moment, although I have already spent a few dozen pages on the synopsis between Thomas, Marcion and the canonicals for the parable of the wine skin and patch, which can be found on my profile and in my Publication List
Enjoy your course! It is so very important to draw attention to this subject
