I would like to see his Biblical sholarship.  Because I find it lacking.

Oh, I agree about seeing more of the scholarship and possible diciness of it. No cite in the article, either, so I'm not sure he's even published academically.

However, my question is more in the lines of "does this really matter to us?" or "does it really tell us anything that will change our view of the faith". Personally, I don't think so but my perspective that Jesus Christ is as much a mythological figure as an historical one may be skewing my thoughts on the matter. To my mind, it's just a fact-fiend nitpicking around details and that tends to lead to one missing the forest for the trees in my experience.

I would pretty much be in your camp on this one.

I'm in agreement with both of you, buy I gotta admit I do like the idea of Easter coming at the same easily predictable time each year.

 What is with Metallurgists getting all Biblical recently?  First it was the guy defending the authenticity of the lead codices and now it is this guy correcting chronology.

Is work tough to find in Metallurgy?

Do Biblical studies pay better?

Curious.

Throwing your thoughts into institutions like religion usually cause more disturbance in the general population than dabbling in metalurgy. Who cares about the consequences of irony? Such is the desire of the powers above (or is that sublime?) need for a giggle while doing your work ... stoics wouldn't allow such rhettoric on their side of Hellenistic Code!

On another matter is there anything more fluid than desires or thoughts ... there for a instant then gone ... something that a person can believe upon ... extreme motives and consequences of acting upon something that you know nothing about. How much of the infinite does a mortal know? It's a no boner ... a moving Cos Mos ... that alternate mind ... one must get to the other side though to have a vision of this ... an out of bode-an experience? OBI!

Can you feel outside of yourself, or is that a dead Zoan?

Eventually one comes to the point where change is required ... a fluid belief system? Even Jesus said the stones would be bought down ... to change into something else?
