Subject: Anyone take notes during Yashua's life? |
Bible Note: Hi, Maus... Maybe they did take notes, like Plato took notes of Socrates' dialogues. Well, I guess we don't have any of Plato's notes either. Thucydides must have taken notes. Maybe the problem is that those loose-leaf papyrus student notebooks are so easily mislaid. My grandkids certainly have difficulty insuring that their notebooks survive between the schoolhouse and home. Lewis Carroll suggested a similar notion when he wrote: "'The horror of that moment,' the King said, 'I shall never never never forget it!' 'You will, though,' the Queen said, 'if you don't make a memorandum of it.'" But I digress... Are you conjecturing that if the disciples (your reference to the 12) and/or the Sanhedrin (your reference to the 70?) had been chroniclers who kept running notations, that we would have some superior documents? Or are you expressing your skepticism concerning the veracity of the documents that we have? Or is there third possibility? In Him, Doc |
