Is your upright posture a demonstration of your heroics or are you actually recovering?
And btw, I always enjoy your thoughts about universalism and the NT. You might feel like you're repeating yourself, but it's very helpful to hear in the various ways you discuss it. Think of it as public service 👍
For what it’s worth: I don’t think there were Aramaic originals, but I do think that there was an early Aramaic oral tradition that may also have involved some texts. Perhaps, but only perhaps, a text like Q is a translation or at least a version of that material. But other than a few Aramaisms in the New Testament, that aboriginal layer of Christianity is lost to us, barring some happy archaeological accident.
Btw, I've always wondered why did you translate "ton arton umon ton epiousion" as "enough bread for the day ahead" rather than something like the Vulgate-Douay-Rheims "supersubstantial bread." Since you you went for a literal translation that highlights the more peculiar phrasings of the Greek, I would've expected that the oddity of that hapax legomena to be a little more obvious.
That’s not what epiousios means. Epi- is not hyper-, even though ridiculous apologetical attempts to relate it to the Eucharist often make that claim. Upon or pertaining to or sufficient for subsistence, meaning a day’s rations. The old translation of “daily” is much more accurate than “supersubstantial” would be.
Dr. Hart, I would dearly love to interview you on my podcast, Gnostic Insights. I quote you extensively on my podcast and have just finished a 4-part series on universal salvation with Gnostic commentary applied to your book, That All Shall Be Saved. I invite you to have a look. My podcast is duplicated here at Substack and is called The Gnostic Reformation. Please contact me to set up an interview. Dr. Cyd Ropp cropp7@hotmail.com
Great video. Out of curiousity, is Dr. Said Reynolds a Christian who studies Islam, or a Muslim that studies Christianity, or is that not the kind of question you're supposed to ask in academia? I'm interested in Christian-Muslim interfaith dialogue, so I'm naturally interested in diving into his Youtube channel, but one does like to know exactly which foot one is starting on, if you will.

Heroics. Hence the brevity of the interview.
Damn...I'm truly sorry. I sure hope there is an effective treatment you'll receive.
So do I.
Something I've always wondered ... do you think there were Aramaic originals of something resembling the Gospels?
I think of the gospels as belonging to a Hellenistic genre. But I have no firm opinion on the matter.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying.

He’s a Christian who studies Islam.
