Pete's characterization of my position vis-à-vis Sheehan et al. is accurate. Ignoring for the moment the absurdity of attempts to represent what Jesus...
I'm going to enjoy going through the online book. I agree that, from what little I know of current Jesus research, I don't see Jesus as proclaiming the end of...

How can we know if "those in a better position than Paul" disagreed? The gospels were all written down twenty or more years after Paul got into the act, by...
