Hi Toto,

I"m willing to keep on this if the users here are too.

Why do Christians assume that 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 is not an interpolation? How can we be reasonably certain one way or the other? What would have prevented the passage from being added by someone else in the 2nd century?

You are welcome to add that to the list and provide your reasons to support interpolation as a reasonable option other than in general they could reasonably be said to be anywhere (see first post).

I sent you some PM's that I think you haven't read. You may already know that though.

Loisy and Munro are still the leaders in this area IMHO. Loisy argued that just about half of the "authentic 7 epistles of Paul" consists of interpolations.

Munro gave a very long list of possible interpolations, using a somewhat different methodology, but still relying on Loisy to a significant extent.

Some bibliography is here,

I don't know to what extent Walker is using Munro or Loisy (Walker's book is still on my to-do list).

In any case, it may be easier to compile a list of the passages that are _unquestionably_ authentic, than to compile a list of those that have been suggested as interpolations.

Cheers,

Yuri.
