Some of the coolest things (from my POV):
1) The angel who probably was Jesus when Abraham was arguing with God over the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
2) Emphasis on David’s close relationship with Uriah the Hittite before having him killed. (It’s in the Bible, but kind of buried.)
3) Jesus in the fiery furnace.
4) The clear tension between the Romans and the Jews in the 1st century and the delicate job Caiaphas had keeping them both at bay.
5) Real unleavened bread at The Last Supper.
6) The rushing wind at Pentecost.
The most annoying nits:
1) Reading Hebrew left-to-right.
2) A Hispanic Jesus.
3) A Black Samson.
4) Mary going back to live on her own instead of with John.
Looking at the list, the nits really don’t matter, do they.
LOL!
I was a bit taken aback by the Black Samson, but then I asked me: But what do I know? He COULD have been, so I will shut my mouth! LOL!
Jesus in the Hispanic community is a lot like Mohammed in the Muslim community. Common names, usually having no similarities to the person they were named after. Or, in the case of Muslims, too many similarities. Neither is a name I would choose for any child, ever, in the entire world...
