Below is a sorted list of the terms we intend to include in our upcoming glossary. Additions and suggestions would be appreciated.

176 words? I am sure we can do better. This is just from what CX, me, Clarice and Soul Inviticus provided.

Anybody wanna add a word?

I just wanted to say what a great idea I think this is. Looking over the list I see quite a few words that I don't know the common meaning for.

What about the words Aramaic and Quran/Koran.

Ted Hoffman

Just "a few"? you must be good

Anyway, thanks. Its my hope that everyone will appreciate the usefulness of the glossary - at least sooner or later.

Ok, Aramaic and Quran will be included. Thanks

Bede

CBQ (we get a lot of refs to articles in that)?

Jayhawker Soule

henotheism
Peshitta
Targum(im)

Ted Hoffman

Thanks Bede and CA. CBQ, Peshitta, Targum and henotheism are in.
More?

Celsus

Ok, sorry I've been slack. "Tanahk" should be "Tanakh" (per the spelling I'm familiar with, though I've also seen it as Tanak) and I would add the following:

Apocalypse (as a style of literature)
DSS
Elohist
Essene
etiology
form criticism
gnosis
glossolalia
Hasidim
Hexapla
historiography
Ketuvim
Megillot
Mishnah
Nag Hammadi
Nevi'im
pesher / pesharim
Pharisee
polyglot
Priestly Source
Qoheleth
Qumran
Rechabite
redaction
Sadducee
source criticism
Textus Receptus
theodicy
Yahwist
Zadokite
Zealot

Would it make the list too unwieldy to list texts like

A (Codex Alexandrinus)
Aleph/S (Codex Sinaiticus)
B (Codex Vaticanus)
C (Codex Ephraemi Syri receptus)
D (Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis) - how do you superscript on vB to show D[superscript]ea[/superscript] (evangelia acta)?
D[superscript]p[/superscript] (Codex Claramontanus)
E[superscript]a[/superscript] (Codex Laudianus)
W (Codex Washingtonianus)
Theta (Codex Koridethianus) etc...

? (And then pn of course) (And a link to Peter's website)

Sorry I'm too lazy to do the proper code...

Now what about a timeline to define:

Patriarchal period
United Monarchy
Divided Monarchy
Exilic
Post-Exilic
Second Temple
Hellenistic
Hasmonean
Herodian

etc...

Joel

Ted Hoffman

Thanks Joel,

We now have 230 entries.

You never did get round to answering my question regarding whether we can include names of historical figures in antiquity like Josephus, Tacitus, Phlegon, Celsus etc - at least those that did touch early christianity.

You think we can incorporate them later? After all, I see some as unavoudable when defining words like Carpocratian, Pythagoorean, Valentinian, Platonism, Basilidian, Albigensians, Manichaeism, Mandaenism etc

What would be wrong with having the entries as below without the Greek transliterations, superscripts etc? Maybe the transliterations can be part of the definitions of the entries?

Codex
Codex Alexandrinus
Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis
Codex Claramontanus
Codex Ephraemi Syri receptus
Codex Koridethianus
Codex Laudianus
Codex Sinaiticus
Codex Vaticanus
Codex Washingtonianus

Plus I have added 30 more entries

Jack the Bodiless

If "religion" is in there, then maybe "atheist" and "agnostic" should be? Or is that too far from the specific topic of Biblical criticism?

I once encountered a fundie who claimed to be a "supralapsarian calvinist puritan presbyterian theonomist reconstructionist with a preterist-postmillenial eschatology". Some of those words aren't in yet...

Jack the Bodiless

Didache
Secret Mark

...Um, that "Pilate" thingy...
