My blog’s feed is linked to my Facebook profile so that new posts appear as “notes” on Facebook. And there a recent post started a discussion between two friends who are also New Testament scholars. Here are the highlights:
“Ah how quickly our revelation becomes THE revelation.” (John Byron)
“…Some things never change, other things improve with age, and … Read Morelots of new ideas on the block, as the plethora of shifts and changes in late 2nd Temple Judaism toward the world beyond at the expense of this world, etc. are not necessarily an improvement over the ‘old’.” (James Tabor)
“What we sometimes read as “old” should not be seen as being rejected, just different. Judaism, as you know, has always had an amazing ability to be flexible with “new revelation”. Christianity, on the other hand, tends to be a collector of antiques.” (John Byron)
