Re: No discussion of 1 Corinthians?
Does anyone know if p52 has been C14 dated? That would be very useful information. If late, it would dispel any 125 CE speculations, and if early (asy 135 CE), though it wouldn't prove an early date (since old paper may have been used), it would support an early date, since I don't see much reason for someone back then to try to make it appear old to C14 dating (which they of course weren't aware of).

Interesting dating
Hey, I just looked up the approximate dates of the oldest manuscripts we have from each gospel, and both Mk and Lk don't have anything until around 250. So our earliest dates for these must come from quotes by church fathers, which are notoriously loose. I wonder what our strongest evidence is supporting the text of these gospels as early as possible?
