Endnote 2 - Can God Read Minds?

D. Kellerman (s.v. twylk, Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament, ed. G. Johannes Botterwech and Helmer Ringgren [Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1974–2001], vol. 7, p. 181) suggests that heart and kidneys together are meant to encompass the total interior life by representing both the upper and lower parts of the trunk and (respectively) the rational and emotional faculties.

Endnote 8 - The 34 Gospels

It’s impossible to know whether the last word originally read “life” or “kingdom.” In truth, it could have been either, for the terms are used interchangeably in the Gospel of Mark to describe eternal life and the kingdom of God (Mark 9:43, 45 vs. 9:47; 10:17 vs. 10:23–24).

Endnote 1 - The 34 Gospels

See Charles Harold Dodd, “A New Gospel,” in Dodd, New Testament Studies (Manchester: Manchester Univ. Press, 1953), pp. 12–52. The paper originally appeared in the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library in 1936. A year earlier, in 1935, the editor of P52 dated it to the first half of the second century. See C.H. Roberts, An Unpublished Fragment of the Fourth Gospel in the John Rylands Library (Manchester: Manchester Univ. Press, 1935).
