	Morton Smith Summary
		Robert Morton Smith was born in Philadelphia on May 28, 1915, the son of the physician Rupert Henry Smith and his wife Mary (Funk).
		Smith was ordained an Episcopal priest in 1946 and served in parishes in Baltimore (1946–1948) and Boston (1949–1950).
		Smith emphasized affinities across disciplines but also the distinctive character of groups: the "syncretists" and the "Yahweh-alone party" in the biblical period, the Pharisees as a less-than-dominant "sect" in first-century Judaism, the Zealots and the Sicarii as two distinct groups, Pauline Christianity as a minority phenomenon.

		Carlson also finds additional hints from Smith suggesting admissions of a hoax which are again intriguing, but are better evidence of the identity of the hoaxer once one is convinced of the case in chief.
		Carlson's wrap-up is convincing in its conclusion that SGM is a modern hoax perpetrated by Morton Smith.
		Smith himself lost his hair at a very young age, and in passing off a fake gospel as a legitimate find, he would be swindling the academy.

		Smith had been a guest of the same hermitage years earlier, when he was stranded in Palestine by the conflagrations of the second World War.
		Smith held that the best explanation for the literary and historical evidence surrounding the miracles of Jesus was that Jesus himself actually performed--or meant to and was understood to have performed--magical feats.
		Because of the general compatibility of Smith's interpretation of the historical Jesus and the practices of the Da Free John community, the group's leader was inclined to promulgate Smith's theory.

		Unfortunately, Dr. Smith has adopted the all too prevalent "two-source" theory of truth, wherein it is asserted that science, history, and psychology furnish men truth in addition to the Word of God.4 This contradicts the many statements in Scripture that the wisdom of the world is foolishness.
		First, it is noted that Smith favorably quotes G. Berkouwer, who stated that we must "understand that the problem of succession in the theological supra and infra is a self-created and therefore insoluble problem which does not touch upon the essential faith of the Church" (I: 175).
		Morton Smith is a highly respected theologian—one that earnestly desires to further God’s Kingdom on Earth.

		He also shows that Morton Smith is the likely candidate for the composition of Secret Mark because he had the ability, opportunity, and motive.
		Despite the assertions by Brown that Smith did not have the ability to concoct such a forgery[2], Carlson shows that Smith was well-suited for the job.
		Smith’s hoax was so successful, not so much because of the reference to homosexuality, but because it fits into today’s scholarly emphasis on the “instability of gospel traditions and their texts in the second century” (96).

		Smith has also suggested in his two books that there are also other and more significant structural parallels between Mk and Jn, the parallels going far beyond the fragment.
		All that needs to be said at this point is that for Smith to have managed to accomplish this second forgery, and to accomplish it in such a way that scholars are still debating the matter hotly after 40 years, would be nothing short of miraculous.

	Morton Smith and the Secret Mark Gospel Hoax
		In 1958 an obscure US scholar named Morton Smith claimed that he had discovered an otherwise unknown letter by Clement of Alexandria in a volume at the monastery of Mar Saba, a few miles from Jerusalem.
		Smith was to publish some cropped monochrome photographs of these; some colour photographs were taken on a subsequent trip with other scholars; and then the manuscript disappeared.
		Interestingly he also believes that all three contain a signature confession by Morton Smith, indicating that the text was a hoax designed to be exposed after a suitable period, and not a forgery for money or reputation.

		If not a forgery, the letter Morton Smith (and others later) photographed (which subsequently disappeared altogether) is at least a hoax, perhaps meant more as a giant practical joke to outwit the academy than a work intended forever to deceive.

		Smith was known to have been very upset with the notoriously anti-gay attitudes in America in the 1950s.
