The Historical Jesus Conclave
27 May 2006 posted by: Chris Weimer tags: historical jesus
A while back, Loren Rossen began his experiment on an “unpapal conclave” for hammering out a consensus about who was the real Historical Jesus. Twelve of us, originally fourteen in case any misguided parallels be running through your head, took a survey on our initial position. Unsurprisingly, there was no consensus. Taking up the initiative to continue debate on the survey, I brought the discussion to my forum. (N.B. - you have to be registered and logged in to see the discussion.)
The discussion is going to remain visible to all members, but only the “conclave” can participate. Having much on my plate recently, I feel partly responsible for not edging it along as much as I should be. Expect more soon.
There’s also been a bit of debate on the subject as well. Mark Goodacre raises some concerns, and Loren answers them. If you wish to comment on the subject, there is a “peanut gallery” for members at the forum, but any discussion about specifics can be brought to the appropriate forum for a thread of its own.
