Hey mark, I just noticed that my itunes auto downloaded this episode from my subscription. So it appears that it is going out on itunes.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Coleman. iTunes and iTunes U have picked this one up. Drat! I'll have to think of another way of putting out the extended episodes.
ReplyDeleteSorry to discover this was an accident. I want to continue at least until the three Synoptic Problem podcasts are complete. As an NT Pod podcast subscriber, I'm so glad to discover this level and depth of information. The short, single-subject articles (essays?) that form the content and format of the NT podcast are very basic and introductory. The limited scope and depth of those podcasts is, I understand, the premise of the show. This lecture is a different ketttle of loaves and fishes: college-level instruction, and absolutely fascinating to one without Divinity school aspirations and a serious interest in biblical history. I know it means more recording work, but I'd certainly appreciate access to this series of lectures and suggest you continue to make them available to iTunes in a subscribable format, perhaps from iTunes U rather than under the podcast heading.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouraging comments, Clark. Since I can't find an obvious alternative way of putting this kind of content out, I think I may simply continue with the extended episodes on the normal feed. So far, I haven't had any complaints about it, so perhaps I should just continue with the status quo.
ReplyDeleteI really like your podcasts. You're a great lecturer, wonderful radio voice, clearly structured content etc. Myself, I research the NT with a different approach, but it's always good to keep the traditional opinion in mind. So keep 'em coming, incl. extended podcasts, if it's not too much of a hassle! :)
ReplyDeleteMark,
ReplyDeleteThere was a comment during your lecture on a possible Ur-Gospel. It has never been quite clear to me what the problems with this are. I also wonder why the Farrer hypothesis always seems to argue for a direct literary relationship between Mark and Matthew. What's wrong with Mark and Matthew relying an an earlier Ur-Gospel (Mark abbreviating and Matthew expanding) while Luke uses Mark and Matthew? Davies and Allison appear to favor a more complex version of the Farrer hypothesis and this might solve some problems where Mark appears secondary to Matthew. Will you be addressing solutions that are more complex than the big three (two source, Griesbach and Farrer) in these podcasts? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this.
Did I write Davies and Allison? Ha, I meant Sanders and Davies (Studying the Synoptic Gospels) of course, not the authors of the Matthew commentary :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, divusjulius!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, Bill. I suppose that for me it's a question of Occam's Razor. If you can explain the data as well or better without the hypothetical document, then it's best to do that. I think that Luke's and Matthew's use of Mark makes an excellent account of the data.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you'll continue putting them onto iTunesU -- it's just a little easier -- and it's great to have a little more detail than the podcasts can do. I've enjoyed them all, but these lectures actually probably most of all.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. Yes, planning to continue putting them on iTunes U when I do them. I have one more to go up this weekend. I will do others in the future too, but not yet sure when.
ReplyDeleteMarc - thanks for the extended episodes. I've been listening to the podcast while running and wishing they were a little longer. The extended episodes are great.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Laurie.
