About this listen
Today's seams in John video describes a truly strange, truly silly claim of a seam or aporia in John. The claim is that in John 19 Jesus is left outside in view of the crowd when Pilate is supposed to be questioning him back in the Praetorium. Huh? Apparently John isn't allowed to leave anything to basic reading or hearing comprehension. If he doesn't spell. it. out. he's saying that it didn't happen. And somehow this "problem" is part of a cumulative case for a complex process of composition involving an editor, resulting in a fractured Gospel of John. So not only are there arguments from silence, the good, the bad, and the ugly. There are also the silly. https://youtu.be/W0VWCdw4epk Six bad habits of New Testament scholars, which I allude to in the video. And yes, argument from silence is discussed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9fUKdpPl6k
