HERE AGAIN
This month just a short note to
report that my historical Jesus website is back. I cancelled it several years
ago, but now, thanks to the efforts of an admirer, it is back. He was able to
retrieve it from whatever elephants’ graveyard websites go to when they are
deleted. I put in a link to the revived website at right.
I left all the essays exactly as
they were when the site originally went up in 2003. I only added an update on
the home page to explain that nothing ever changes in historical Jesus
scholarship, so all the essays still make valid points. I expect that a hundred
years from now, these essays will still be relevant because there has been no
movement. Bear in mind that there has never been a quest for the historical
Jesus, if by “quest for” you mean “to reveal”.
The quest has always been to conceal the historical, Jewish Jesus. And
it’s been a very successful quest. Concealment is what we have. Revealing is
still in the distant future, even if much of that revealing has been
accomplished in my two books, links also at right.
