>(My dad and Morton mainly worked on new testament, easier to get the texts maybe. He said if you go back to the earliest Aramaic, its plain the Pauline epistles is the work of a committee which pisses off a lot of people.) Paul wrote in koine Greek. The 'earliest Aramaic' versions of the Pauline epistles might be 5th century Syriac copies or maybe the 11th century Khabouris Manuscript which was a copy of a 160AD NT but the originals were koine. >The amount of bullshit in biblical scholarship is crazy. Indeed.
