Ancient Nerd Fights in the Margins, Hebrews 1:3
Manage episode 396804964 series 3216256
We're back – from illness, from holidays, from the madness! Here is our discussion of a little bit of graffiti, a very small geocache indeed, that appeared in the margins of Hebrews 1:3 in a third century manuscript. This smidgen of script, beginning with something like "Fool and knave..." gives us some insight into an ancient discussion about theology, heresy, and the truths of faith. Sometimes the truth can hinge on a single word or part of a word, and we see that here, in the throes of a primeval nerd fight.
