I think you'd have to go see his lecture, right?

Re: This Week in Religion
To be honest, it's not even a new hypothesis. Unless he has some amazing new evidence, it's based largely on conjecture. And this is coming from someone who is fairly agnostic about the historicity of Jesus in general.Kory wrote:I think you'd have to go see his lecture, right?

Re: This Week in Religion
I didn't appreciate the sophomoric quotes about the danger of Christianity, they didn't speak to a particularly elevated intellect. The evidence I've seen in books by my favourite Biblical scholars have convinced me that a historical Jesus is about as likely to have actually lived as any other figure from the 1st century. I lean to him being a real apocalyptic preacher who got crucified by the Romans.Kory wrote:I think you'd have to go see his lecture, right?

Re: This Week in Religion
I do, it's the kind of observation I'd expect a worthwhile academic to have gotten out of their system before graduating. A banal truism at this point for anybody who's thought about this stuff.Kory wrote:You don't think Christianity can be damaging and repressive?Silent Majority wrote:I didn't appreciate the sophomoric quotes about the danger of Christianity, they didn't speak to a particularly elevated intellect.

Re: This Week in Religion
Oh, I see what you mean. I thought you meant that his position was naive or something. I dunno, the article is doesn't seem to be for people that are well read on this subject, so they probably took sound bites of his that were more general, or maybe he geared his interview answers with that in mind. I'd be interesting to see the lecture at least. I'm certainly not well read on this stuff, myself.Silent Majority wrote:I do, it's the kind of observation I'd expect a worthwhile academic to have gotten out of their system before graduating.

Re: This Week in Religion
Giving the academic the benefit of the doubt, he may have tailored his response for a general audience. And, given that he's an American, there's a likely kneejerk acceptance of the Bible that he's operating under.Kory wrote:Oh, I see what you mean.
