καινή διαθήκη - a covenant as fresh as a split patch

This paper will demonstrate that it was Thomas’ parable of the wine(skin) and patch which inspired Marcion (*Ev) to his καινή διαθήκη, his ‘new covenant’ (literally ‘disposition’), and that it was one essential word in that parable that made all the

Wrapping up on the comparison for the wineskin and the patch: Thomas, *Ev and the Synoptics
