If you figure out how to exorcise my ADD so that I could finish off a few projects, I’d appreciate it 😉

Haha! Fortunately, Garrick never had to place to manuscript in an oven! (…to my knowledge).

Oh, and of course Tertullian seems to insist on the authenticity of 1 Tim in order to refute the authenticity of Acts of Paul and Thecla (Tertullian, On Baptism 17)

Origen of Alexandria claims that some rejected 2 Timothy (Comm. Ser. Matt. 117 [PG 13:1769c]); and Jerome claims Tatian rejected 1–2 Timothy (Comm. Tit. Prologue).

The Pastorals are not included in Marcion’s canon or in 𝔓46 . Also, Tertullian claims Marcion rejected the Pastorals (Marc. 5.21); Clement of Alexandria claims that certain “heretics” rejected 1–2 Timothy (Strom. 2.11)…

For the reception history of the Pastorals there’s a nice summary in Carl R. Holladay, Introduction to the New Testament: Reference Edition (Waco, TX: Baylor, 2017), 644, 679.

Ever heard of Lady Eclecte? According to my friend and colleague Lincoln Blumell, the reason you’ve never heard of her is because some ancient scribes accidentally erased her from 2 John in the New Testament. www.fortresspress.com/store/produc...
