There has always been copy cats in society. The only ones that I have heard of are those associated with crimes and how preceding murderers are influenced by others in the past. Perhaps the tendency to be a copy cat is spurred on by the need to feel a part of that person one is trying to copy. This could explain how there were copy cats that seem to have tried similar things that Jesus had done.

Perhaps "the Egyptian" was another labeling attempt? Perhaps "the Egyptian" simply *must have been* an "Egyptian"? Recall the large number of Jews, and Zealots among them, in northern Egypt and Cyrene.<br /><br />I await exploration of the Egyptian!<br /><br />Rick Carpenter<br />Huntsville, East TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-69673485907697048062012-10-15T11:16:59.349-07:002012-10-15T11:16:59.349-07:00Thanks Mark, I am on record (with those you mentio...Thanks Mark, I am on record (with those you mention above and otehrs) as one who thinks that the Exodus typology in the Theudas and Egyptian episodes is too thick to ignore. Of course, this could just demonstrate that the concept of "new Exodus" was in the air rather than by way of Jesus' direct impact.<br /><br />I remember learning of the Egyptian and Theudas in the classroom of Craig Evans. I suggested to him that the Egyptian might be Josephus' only reference to Jesus (for whom Josephus had no other information). Evans, rightly, shot down this idea. I still think that the best explanation of the famous Jesus passage in Ant. 18 is of Christian interpolation rather than wholesale invention.Anthony Le Donnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282792648606976883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-35432378030712200972012-10-15T10:08:42.511-07:002012-10-15T10:08:42.511-07:00Not unpublished dissertations, but close:
