The Acts of Titus: anyone know where the text may be located?
As I have not been able to find a copy of the text of the Acts of Titus anywhere on the net I am creating a thead so that, if you know how to get a copy, then I'd be happy if you let me know where or how. The best I have been able to do for the moment is to read the material available of which one of the better treatments I have found, the PDF from i.czachesz, where the author makes the following summary:

Thanks for having a look. I for one would be interested to see what the author writes, and the style of writing. It's bound to turn up sooner or later. Best wishes, Pete |

Anything of "Acts of Titus" in the J Theol Studies.1905; os-VI: 549-556?
Can anyone advise whether or not this JSTOR Article entitled THE ACTS OF TITUS AND THE ACTS OF PAUL - Montague Rhodes James , J Theol Studies.1905; os-VI: 549-556 contains many citations of an english translation of the text in question?
Thanks for any assistance, best wishes, Pete |

Richard Pervo himself is now retired after being convicted in 2001 at the age of 58 for downloading child porn and forced to resign, apparently. But he is still around. He's listed as a fellow of the Westar Institute and member of the Jesus Seminar. Burton Mack is quoted here as "This is Pervo's amazing, clear, and unsullied conclusion to his long and magnificent scholarship on Acts." It must be possible to contact him, therefore. All the best, Roger Pearse |

The article by James is not a JSTOR article. JSTOR does not index JTS (see here), and since the page that comes up when one clicks on the link above is self evidently not a JSTOR page, one can only view it as such by seeing in it what one wants to see. Jeffrey |

Dear Roger and Ben, I thank you both for your bevy of references on this thread. From the Burton Mack quote we learn that Richard Pervo's book is forthcoming December 9, 2008. I wonder what he has to say in that book which brought about Burton's review? Best wishes, Pete |
