Kata Markon

["Dennis MacDonald" <dmacdon AT cst.edu>]

Larry, in my theory Jesus is not just Jesus and that is the point. He is 
the Son of God/Messiah disguised as Jesus of Nazareth. Futhermore, Odysseus 
is in constant danger of being discovered, like Jesus in Mark.
The presence of Moses and Elijah explains somethings in the text but not 
everything, and certainly not the command to secrecy. Show me where God 
gives Moses and Elijah bleached clothing!
I simply don't understand your third paragraph, of if I do, you seem 
misinformed. I do agree that demonstrating dependence is difficult, but not 
impossible. The same problem faces those who claim dependence on Jewish 
writings as well. Dennis M.
I'll be gone until Thursday.
