It's the footnotes.


1 "This is My Body." As scholars agree, this is just a typical Semitic hyperbole.

2"This is My Blood." Another typical Semitic hyperbole. A typical 1st century Jew in Jesus' milieu would have heard these words and understood, "Hey, no prob' --- it's one of those metaphor thingies."

A literal hermeneutic requires us to believe that “This is my body ... This is my blood” really means “Answer an altar call and pray the sinners prayer”. Any other interpretation would be merely superficial allegorism. /s
