As usual I'm way behind the 8 ball on this one...
I've read this (the Jesus Seminar) mentioned in a couple of threads last week and was unaware of what was being referred to.
Someone handed me 'The Five Gospels' on Friday and said, "I just finished reading this...do you want it?"
And a few hours later someone else said, "For new testament exploration you should have 'The Five Gospels' on your bookshelf"
So in less than a week I was enticed to wonder about the seminar, received the book that was created by the seminar without asking, and then informed it would be a valuable research tool.
Having started reading the book twas obvioius it is controverserial...a quick websearch confirms this...
Has anyone read this book and have thoughts on the contents (I know others like me have thoughts on books we haven't read....)
