Talk:Gospel of the Ebionites

Moving forward
Now that arbitration has ended, it's time to put it behind us and move forward. Imo, the article is reasonably complete and stable as it stands. Therefore, I will be making occasional updates to the content as new academic views are published. In particular, there is a renewed interest in the history of gospel harmonies that may be reflected here as the GEbi is discussed in the context of the harmonizing traditions of the second and third centuries.

Proposal for 2014
I agree with In Ictu Oculi that we should avoid "fringe theories" about this topic. The fact that the Gospel of the Ebionites was "composed in Greek many years after the time of the Disciples makes it unlikely there is any connection with Hypothetical Hebrew Gospel. Indeed the Ebionite theologies of vegetarianism, Adoptionist Christology, etc pretty much precludes this possibility. I would strongly suggest we steer clear of any major changes to this article. Now that arbitration has ended, I would propose we let Ignocrates smooth out any rough edges. I have little to add. All in all good work! Happy New Year! Ret.Prof (talk) 14:00, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * There are no "fringe theories" in this article I am aware of, per WP:FRINGE; however, WP:WEIGHT is always subject to interpretation. I welcome any suggestions for ways to further refine and improve the article content. Ignocrates (talk) 17:58, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Vielhauer & Strecker composition order
I can't do anything about this, since it would be original research, but their ordering is clearly wrong:

30.13.2-4 is quoted in one chunk so breaking it up makes little sense to begin with; furthermore 30.13.2 introduces Jesus, while 30.13.7 has Jesus without an introduction, so placing 13.7 after 13.3 is illogical; finally Epiphanius say that 30.13.7 comes "a good deal" after 30.13.6 yet Vielhauer and Strecker only fill this gap with one line (30.13.4) even if that requires them to both break up a quote and disregard logical internal continuity.

Evidently Epiphanius meant the beginning of this gospel to be something closer to this:

The only problem here is that it disagree with the order of events in the canonical gospels by placing the Call of the first Disciples before the Baptism of Jesus, but this changes comes naturally from this gospel having the Apostles collectively be the narrators. (Also note the possibility that there might be even more text between 13.6 and 13.7 that Epiphanius did not quote.) --Painocus (talk) 02:03, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
