This chap, which introduces a historical Jesus study, actually establishes the reason why the last part of the book moves into early Christian understandings of Jesus' death as atoning.<BR/><BR/>What I find interesting is that many of us, and I find myself here, have made presentations of Jesus that end up functioning as an alternative to the Gospels themselves. Some modify or complement; but others are totally different (Crossan, Borg). What I find interesting is that so many think historical research can't be the foundation for faith: I see it constantly in historical Jesus books.Scot McKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464859313317428105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-1123040154828104342005-08-02T22:35:00.000-05:002005-08-02T22:35:00.000-05:00David, go the link called "The Paul Page" on the s...David, go the link called "The Paul Page" on the side bar of Euangelion and it is on that site.
