Beginning of the battle -- Conflict continued -- Killing of the lamb -- Incredible prophecy in Isaiah 53 -- Birth and early years of Jesus of Nazareth -- Rising tide of rejection and deadly hostility -- Mystery of Judas Iscariot -- Trial and tears of Peter -- Battle of Gethsemane -- Arrest in the garden -- First hearing and trial -- Trial before Pontius Pilate -- Procession to the cross -- There they crucified Him -- Reflections on the seven last words of Christ -- Postscript 1: Christianity is founded upon actual events -- Postscript 2: The great impossibility
Subject: O'Reilly seems determined to let us know that he does not trust the trustworthiness of the Bible. It is sad to see that a conservative (politically) has swallowed the liberal view of Scripture hook, line and sinker. At the same time he seems to dismiss those who do take the Scriptures seriously as being out of touch with reality. I only wish he would read some of the scholarly works defending the reliability of the documents and their contents. I know he wants to be considered politically correct, which also seems a contradiction of his basic world view. It will be absolutely impossible to write an accurate account of the killing of Jesus from either a politically correct position or even from an attempt to be neutral. This is a clear cut case of evil versus good, of right versus wrong. It requires the ability to recognize right from the wrong and to state the case clearly, no matter who may be offended. One does not need to go out of the way to assess blame and guilt; they are an integral part of the story. But the attempt to avoid such assessment is undermining the credibility of the author, as well as presenting falsehood as being as acceptable as the truth. ~ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Jesus-Nazareth-Gordon-Kenworthy/dp/0985289732/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9780985289737&qid=1622645003&sr=8-1
