And so there are various canon lists. that come up throughout the ancient world where some people are hypothesizing, well, maybe this book is part of it, or maybe this book is part of it. But it's this ongoing conversation of people.

And by basically the end of the second century, we have more or less unanimous agreement of the 27 books being those that encapsulate scripture that can be tied to either someone who knew Jesus or someone who knew someone who knew Jesus.

Well, so part of the problem with some of these other books is they appear to be almost completely reliant on the other books. So you do have, and some of them have an agenda to them. So like the docetic gospel of Peter seems to be uncomfortable with the fact that the biblical gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, have women being the first witnesses to the empty tomb.

because in the ancient world, women were not seen as good eyewitnesses. So you almost have this apologetic trying to solve that problem by having all the right people be witness to the resurrection. So you have all the Roman and Jewish officials camping out in front of the tomb, which also gives away the fact that like no Jewish priest

on the eve of Passover is going to be camping out in front of a dead body. Like they didn't do that. So it betrays that the author of the Gospel of Peter has no understanding of purity ritual rites within first century Second Temple Judaism, but is also clearly trying to remedy this embarrassing fact.

Yeah. Yeah. And one of the most interesting ways that we figure out, okay, how can we tie, say, the Gospel of Matthew to the first century in Judea? is studies that have been done on name frequency. This is called onomastic congruence, where we look at the most popular names within a particular geographical area, and we compare it to how names are differentiated. The name Joe is pretty common.

So when you have a room and there's more than one Joe, you differentiate. Okay. That's Joe Rogan or, you know, that's MMA Joe. You know, we figure out a way to do it. And that's called a disambiguator. And we see this in the New Testament when you have lots of Peters. You have Simon Peter, you have Peter the Canaanite, or James the son of Zebedee, or you have lots of Marys.
