I've been looking on these pages to challenge some assertions of Christian belief, based on what I think I understand of historical Judaism. Though simultaneously, I've been concerned that I'm baiting to an extent, and at the same time undermining thematic Christianity without which I'm doubtful that the United States could have been founded.
I wish I had the time to develop some of the themes I find most interesting therein, but truly don't. Thus I would urge of anyone interested that they read Hyam Maccoby Revolution In Judaea. It's difficult to obtain in general, though I found it in the Los Angeles Public Library.
Thanks again for the flag.
Boruch ato Adonai....
Klinghoffer seems to be able to...maybe?...bridge the gap a (wee?) bit. It's kindof like saying "Thank God that the Christians managed to bring God to the world...now let's just straighten out some issues."
Thanks for the book suggestion. I looked it up on Amazon and it has very good reviews. I like reading the reviews because often times the reviewer mentions other similar and worthwhile books, too.
