  1. Yep, there are more of these videos coming. A total of about 15 very short, professionally-produced videos were made in 2018 and just sent to us recently. Most are about undesigned coincidences. I have them scheduled to appear on Mondays and Fridays until they are all up.

  4. I wonder, though...in the case of something like John's "he came before me", it indicates that this saying of the Baptist is dependent on Luke. But couldn't a critic just say that John was bolting his material onto an earlier tradition? In other words, if John the Evangelist was supposedly making this up, what if he had already heard of or was aware of the Lucan tradition concerning Elizabeth and Mary?
