Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Jesus’ use of the Old Testament was innovative and experiential. Although his use of scripture was foundational for the theology of the early church, early Christian teachers and writers were not limited by it. Some of the New Testament writers appealed to certain passages because Jesus appealed to them and they had become part of the ‘biblical theology’ of the Jesus movement in the post-Easter setting. Other texts were appealed to because they clarified new problems and questions that the early church faced as it grew and expanded into lands outside of Israel.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
