I really like him.

The irony I see in this, however, is that there wouldn't be any reason to study Jesus at all (let alone make him the topic of repeated special projects) if it weren't for the faith many people have in him. Without Christianity Jesus is of no interest to any scholar.<BR/><BR/>Also, there's just so little evidence of any kind relating to Jesus it seems that historical projects like these are kind of grasping at straws.Aric Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15241157655075444268noreply@blogger.com
