Talk:Sosthenes

Untitled

Is this entry necessary for a general interest encyclopaedia? Just because Easton's public domain 1800s Christian encyclopaedia has thousands of entries doesn't mean that this encyclopaedia needs to do so. If we followed this kind of micro-entry format, we'd end up with thousands of tiny entries for Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc. I totally agree that Wikipedia needs many comprehensive articles on religion, but Wikipedia is not meant to be a religious dictionary or encyclopaedia. All I am asking is that we make sure that our entries are comprehensive, and not unnecessarily fractured into micro-entries. Sub-entries should only be created when there is a compelling need to do so. RK

Wikipedia is an excellent source of "information" and in some of the instances I have used it for, "knowledge". However, how can anyone objectively determine how much information is too much information on a given subject? Only the person seeking that information can decide that. FE.

What larger article should "Sosthenes" go into? Not "Acts", not "Corinthians", not "Paul". Sosthenes is a discrete historical figure. Even if he is deemed to be fictional, there are plenty of articles on minor literary characters from books read by far fewer people. matturn 03:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Why Eastern Christianity Series?

Is there a reason this minor New Testament figure should be part of the Eastern Christianity series? Thank you --64.56.107.126 12:46, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I've removed it. If he has a special meaning in Eastern Christianity that he doesn't have in other traditions, this should be mentioned in the article. Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 19:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure why the article attributes the attack on Sosthenes to the Greeks when the passage of Acts 18:14-17 does not lend credence to this statement. It seems that in the context of the verses cited that it was the Jews who brought their complaint against Paul to Gallio and were ultimately rebuffed took out their frustration on Sosthenes.
