Volume
1 (2017)
Not long after the introduction of our journal Warring States
Papers (cover date 2010, actual issuance date 2012), it became evident
that the Biblical material previously included there needed a home
of its own. Thus in 2017 there appeared its little sister journal
Alpha, at first with a pronounced New Testament emphasis. That too
proved insufficient, and from v2 on, Alpha has taken responsibility
for all comparative material.
This first volume takes up the principal
Gospels and other early sources for the teachings of Jesus. It notes
evidence for stratification in Mark, as a first step in identifying
the earliest and thus most authoritative stratum of that text. It
finds no need to posit a common source ("Q") for Matthew
and Luke, and instead argues for mutual contact between them. Mandaean
and Gospel echoes of John the Baptist are compared, the work of William
O Walker Jr on interpolations in Paul is continued, and a foundation
is laid for the introduction of a new stylistic difference test in
Alpha v2.
