OVERTURE My first century church history theories
Here are a number of thoights, some my own theories, some others theories, some obvious of my view of the first century church.
The chronology an be broken down to the life of jesus till 30, the petership of simon bar jonah till 64, the petership of john bar zebedy till 94, petership of jude bro jamestheless and maybe petership of polycarp till 155.
Peterships after Simon peter are my own theories to prove or not, of course, but some of the other theories and observations progress through the times.
My theory a second book of acts was planned and perhaps mostly written, and its most likely contents, spans the time acts leaves paul in rome to probable reasons it was not published (leaving aside theological meraphisical reasons) and perhaps i can suggest some nepharious role for Luke's historical rival, josephus.
My theory on the Gospel of Mark, that it is an unfinished draft and survived only because it was publshed in anthology with the Gospel of John. This theory necessarily tells of the gospels of Matthew and Luke and John, an explaination of the synoptic problem and more.
My theory of the dueling epistles, galatians and james, with echoes in the Corinthian letters and in 1peter shows how early paul was and what doctrines he converted to and pauls ability to draw deeper conclusions from the ancient prophesies, I'll leave for later what clashing of egos are here.
My theory of the johnine literature, theories for each, how gJn and 1Jn express such marvelous depths with such a truly limited vocabulary that shows a leisure perhaps unavailable on patmos where his accent comes out.
2 annd 3 john is mysterious, are these an old cranky cult leader on the run asks in code for a place to crash, is turned down and writes to a congregant he knows - why have these mysterious small postcards survived ,, is it what got him caught?
