Eclecte and Martha

Eclecte

Marg Mowczko has thorough studies of the likelihood that a female church leader called Eclecte is mentioned in 2 John 1, see here and here, and even in 1 Peter 5:13, see here.

Lincoln H. Blumell argues that the addressee of 2 John is Eclecte in a book, Lady Eclecte: The Lost Woman of the New Testament (Minneapolis: Fortress, 2025). See here.

I support these findings in a Facebook post here.

Martha

In the TC journal Elizabeth Schrader-Polczer continues to argue that Martha in John 11 was interpolated, and I respond.
