Maurice Casey
Maurice Casey is a British scholar of New Testament and early Christianity. He is Emeritus Professor at the University of Nottingham, having served there as Professor of New Testament Languages and Literature at the Department of Theology.[1]
Casey's work has argued strongly for Aramaic sources behind the New Testament documents, specifically for Q and the Gospel of Mark. He has also contributed works on early Christology and the use of the term Son of Man within the New Testament Gospels in reference to Jesus.
Casey's Aramaic ideas were challenged by Stanley E. Porter in Excursus: A response to Maurice Casey on the Languages of Jesus[2] citing modern scholarship,[3] that the linguistic environment of Roman Palestine was probably multilingual.
