Wow. I guess this isn't too surprising for a Jew to say, but I don't think I had read anything from Christianity Today before this for 30 years -- and I don't remember it being like that. With someone like Christine Scheller among us, there does seem to be hope for this country yet.

The hope you refer to has as its' source a Jewish man who rose from the dead - and the author's first name hasn't escaped my notice.

FWIW, you hint your experience with Christianity Today long ago was less than positive, and I hope you don't find this reply to your post that way.

We're in agreement; what you said isn't too surprising. I agree, whole heartedly, with your sentiments about the article, but I am surprised by the Jewish self-reference within what you wrote. For it's not consistent with my understanding of how Jews view Christ. Perhaps I misunderstand the intent behind your self-reference - for it appears you are crediting Christ, though unintentionally.

For without His example, wouldn't you agree Christine Scheller, in order to write this story, would have had to invent the Christ story experience by herself? Instead of experiencing redemption, she would have had to thus invent it? How would this article's genesis, thesis, and delivery been possible otherwise?
