Reading

Yes there has been some reading during the last few months. I've just finished Michael Grant's Jesus: An Historian's Review of the Gospels, which I've meant to read for many years. It's written from the point of view of a methodological naturalist, so it is not sympathetic to Christianity's claims for Jesus. Nonetheless, Dr. Grant found ample room for describing the career, philosophy and tragic end of Jesus. He even grants that the empty tomb is historical.

Now I'll move on to A. N. Sherwin-White's Roman Soceity and Roman Law in the New Testament, which I read some years ago. I'm on a Jesus, History and the Resurrection kick now.

Ciao!
