Finally Godfrey recognizes that he is wrong on the previous point. Alas the great confession:
(my bold)
Godfrey is late but willing: he recognizes at the end, after 72 hours, that the chronology being advanced is: Ev (by Marcion) ---> Luke/Acts (against Marcion) ---> letters in the name of 'Paul' (by Marcion).
From the name of the enemy of Marcion, i.e. Luke/Acts, the true name of the author of the letters comes out: Marcion himself!
NL does not discuss Simon Magus or the Simonians. The view of Markus Vinzent is that Marcion produced the first gospel and NL seems to accept this position. Like you, I have several unanswered questions at this stage but my first interest for now is trying to be sure I get NL’s view correct. One or two more posts to go.
