M.A. Robinson, for example, the leading Byzantine prioritist, was once an Egyptian text regular, but then he changed his mind. So this is the opposite of a zombie, since at least he's got his own mind! As to the Peshitta crowd, most of them seem to be faith-based, it's true, but they also seem to have a faith in something that's far superior to the Egyptian text. And since they are also a tiny minority, it takes some courage to be in the minority. But being an Egyptian zombie doesn't take any brains at all, or courage. All you have to do is repeat the party line! Best, Yuri. |
