Last spring there was a string about the claims of Carsten P. Thiede to
identify a Magdalen papyrus as a gospel text. There has been little posted
since then

The fall announcements of Trinity Press International announce two books to
be published in October. Those who read this string may want to look at
them.

(1) Carsten P, Thiede. _Re-Kindling the Word. Jesus, Qumran and the Papyri_
(Valley Forge: TPI, 1995).

The copy describing the book says this is a "collection of the most
important and controversial essays on the New Testament and Near Eastern
subjects by the German scholar Carsten P. Thiede-including his world famous
essay on the Magdalen Papyrus and the redating of the Gospels.

(2) Graham Stanton. _Gospel Truth? New Light on Jesus and the Gospels_
(Valley Forge: TPI, 1995).

Publisher's comment: "_Gospel Truth_ is a full-scale response to these
claims." The book also presents Stanton's views on the evidence for the
life and teachings of Jesus.

(I get no commission from Trinity Press International.)
