старинные монеты

I’m immensely impressed that people have arrived at my blog by searching for старинные монеты.  Anyone know what it means???

    My bet would be that it’s either a Russian or Ukrainian spelling of your blog title and your name. Of course, I’m totally guessing (i.e making it up as I go).

    On an unrelated matter: did you see that Trinity Theological College in Perth is looking for a professor in NT? One of my office mates just told me about it and I immediately thought of you.

    Okay, to assuage my penchant for making stuff up: I did a quick Google-inspired translation of старинные монеты, and it came out as ‘ancient coins’ (in Russian).

    It stands for crap. Incidentally, did you know that Josephus makes no mention of the founders of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Also he doesn’t breathe a word about Hillel, the greatest of the Pharisee masters, or about Yohanan ben Zackkai who reorganized Judaism after the destruction of the temple, although both of these men lived in Josephus’s own century. This, and Roman interference with Josephus’s original writings, and probably with Maccabees, points to the non-existence of Pharisees pre the destruction of the temple.

      Thanks for this Geoff. In relation to your first assertion, I have done some research and come to the opinion that you are misled: It does not stand for ‘crap’ but means ‘ancient coins’. I’m open to persuasion though…

      In relation to the Pharisees, I’m less open to persuasion ;-)
