.@WesleyLHuff recently gave Joe Rogan a facsimile of New Testament papyrus no. 52 🤯

What do we know about P52? Why is it significant?

Here's some quick facts about P52... Image New Testament manuscripts written on papyri are assigned a number by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research in Germany (P = papyri + no. 52)

P52 is held in Manchester, UK, at the John Rylands Library, where it has call no. Greek 457.

Here it is on display... Image

There’s been a lot of talk about a bombshell set of papers at SBL about the distigmai of Codex Vaticanus and what this means for @PhilipBPayne’s view

Here was the main argument made… 🧵 Image A scientist (Ira Rabin) and a biblical scholar (Nehemia Gordon) were allowed to study Codex Vaticanus in person and use micro X-ray fluorescence (µXRF) and ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared (UV-vis-NIR) reflectography to determine the chemical composition of the different inks

P.Oxy. 5575 has been all the buzz in NT studies and the amount of stuff written about it is piling up, so here's a thread summarizing everything written/spoken on P.Oxy. 5575 so far

(for my benefit, as much as for yours!)

🧵... Image posted by Stephen Carlson on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/11404207692/permalink/10159060501827693/ The papyrus was published on Aug 31, 2023, in volume 87 of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri (pp. 6-14) as no. 5575 and entitled "Sayings of Jesus"

It was edited by Jeffrey Fish, Dan Wallace, and Mike Holmes

DM me if you'd like to see a copy of the publication Image

apparently, people really resonated with my critique of Dan Wallace's Greek grammar, so it might be worth expanding upon it

here are a few more words of critique & praise for Wallace... (1) First, some praise: I still like Wallace's grammar and no one should dismiss it as out-dated or completely wrong methodologically.

It's technically an "exegetical syntax," so he works through so many examples that even if you disagree w/ him, it's still worth consulting

I first learned Greek exegesis in seminary by reading Dan Wallace's grammar cover-to-cover twice, and categorizing every word in Ephesians

I became overzealous to meticulously categorize every word/phrase of the GNT 😬

But -- I changed after...

Image In 2015, I took Peter Gentry's Advanced Greek Grammar and we read Eugene Goetchius's grammar (1965), the first NT grammar to use modern linguistic analysis

Goetchius employed cross-linguistic explanations to great effect, showing Greek wasn't so different from English Image
