Everyone is Wrong About 2 John!
Lincoln Blumell, a religious studies scholar and papyrologist who studies early Christian letters, offers a bold rereading of 2 John. He explains noticing an alternate ancient reading, uses papyrology and letter-formula evidence, and argues a dropped article may hide a woman named Eclecte as the addressee. The conversation traces grammar, scribal habits, and the possibility of a named woman leading a house church.
