Jesus and Paul : The Word and the Witness

This special by Peter Jennings on ABC last night was about like I expected. (The fact that it was a "special report" by ABC "news" is particularly laughable – or sinister.) I did not see all of it, because I was flipping to the NCAA championship game. But what I saw went something like this…

Take a bunch of popular liberal scholars/writers,
ignore conservative voices,
lump all sects / denominations / traditions of Christianity together,
claim they all have the same views of everything,
deny the possibility that God actually exists and actually did something in the first century A.D.,
call it C.E.,
make some anthropologic observations from a naturalist perspective
and. . .viola!. . . you have yourself a genuine authoritative account of what actually happened.

If you are a Liberal "Christian" who denies the authority of the Bible, the deity of Jesus Christ, and the influence of God in this world, this was the program for you. Hope you didn’t miss it.
