Theodore of Mopsuestia: New Evidence for the Proposed Papian Fragment in Hist. eccl. 3.24.5-13
Eusebius records Papias on the origins of the Gospels of Matthew and Mark but provides nothing comparable on John’s gospel, leading some scholars to conclude that Papias was silent concerning it. Others, however, suggest that Eusebius knew of Papias’s account of John’s gospel and chose not to record...

| Summary: | Eusebius records Papias on the origins of the Gospels of Matthew and Mark but provides nothing comparable on John’s gospel, leading some scholars to conclude that Papias was silent concerning it. Others, however, suggest that Eusebius knew of Papias’s account of John’s gospel and chose not to record it. Charles Hill has argued at length that an unattributed passage in Eusebius’s Church History preserves the substance of Papias’s comments on John’s gospel. Richard Bauckham has raised objections to Hill’s hypothesis, arguing that while the problem of ‘order’ (τάξις) is common to Papias and the unattributed fragment, the solutions given by each are quite different. This study will provide a fresh analysis of the question, and will suggest new evidence in favour of Hill’s hypothesis from the writings of Theodore of Mopsuestia. |
