Loading...Thanks to the incredible generosity of members of the blog, I am happy to announce that again this year there are a limited number of free one-year memberships available. These have been donated for a single purpose: to allow those who cannot afford the annual membership fee to participate on the blog for a year. I will assign these memberships strictly on the honor system: if you truly cannot afford the membership fee, but very much want to have full access to the blog, then please contact me.
Do NOT reply here, on the blog, as a comment. Send me a separate email, privately, at [email protected]. In your email, let me know your situation (why you would like to take advantage of this offer) and provide me with the following information:
1) Your first and last name.
2) Your preferred personal email.
3) Your preferred user name (no spaces).
4) Your preferred password (should be 8 or more characters, no spaces).
The donors will remain anonymous, but here let me publicly extend my heartfelt thanks for such kind and generous donations to help others.
Here is a very off topic question: In your opinion is ” political brigand, militant, rebel, insurrectionist ” a better definition of the Greek word ” lestes” than ” thief ” or “robber “? I can’t find that definition in any of the Greek dictionaries on Google ( although that may be limited ). Would Josephus use the word slightly differently than Mark? Thanks!
Yes, probalby is. Josephus uses it to mean that.
Thanks for continuing to do the blog!
