Now examine the Pauline Corpus.

Philippians 3:20 KJV

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ

In the Jesus cult, Jesus is the Saviour.

Earl, I wish you the best. You've sparked a lot of thought and debate that didn't exist before, and have definitely made a mark. Take care and thanks, Ted

Anyway, it's been a long run. 30 years of research, writing and publishing. I'm getting on. I'm not overly tired, just largely burned out. (My last experience on FRDB didn't help any.) Answering Ehrman was my last hurrah, and it was fun. But I'm moving on to a different task, more humanitarian than humanist, with a love interest involved! (How's that for a closing tease?)

P.S. I once quipped that in the history of Jesus Mythicism I would probably end up a footnote. People like Richard Carrier, who is much better placed than I am and much better at self-promotion, will no doubt eclipse me shortly, and the odd established scholar (like Thomas Brodie) is beginning to make a splash in the ranks. Bob Price, of course, continues to do his heavy lifting.

Thank you for your scholarship and hard work

Have you considered collecting your books, and writings into electronic form and setting it up so that on your passing it can all be made open source and be downloaded freely from the Gutenberg Project? Otherwise it all becomes orphaned works and more or less unaccessible. A sort of intellectual Parthian parting shot so to speak. Just a suggestion.

It sounds like a mountain of work, and I know next to nothing about the Gutenberg Project.

Whhoopsie, I forgot that was Stephan talking about what is "correct", so I should have written ηομοιουσιος. No true scotsman would tolerate those star bellied sneetches who write ηομοουσιος

Savior-saviour, neighbor-neighbour, color-colour, it is all just conventional difference between English and American spelling.

But then again, Stephan may be referring to this site. Glad to see a focus on the impourtant issues. Inumportant.

The Gutenberg project makes copy right free works available to anybody who wants them. Its a well regarded project that has been around for years now.

I had assumed you'd have the manuscripts of your books on hard disk etc someplace. Gutenberg has volunteers who adapt materials in Gutenberg formats et al, and places them on their website in various forms. Text, HTML, PDF, Plucker etc. Gutenberg takes care of such conversions.
A manuscript in say .doc format, would be easy for their volunteers, who often have to work with raw scans and bad OCR.

It appears a number of your books are already available on pirate sites, such as above. Possibly grab them and use them in granting fair use for all? It might prove interesting to make inquiries of Gutenberg as to if this would be acceptable action. Let the pirates do the hard work.
