Continuing our summary/review of Tom Wright and Marcus Borg’s discussion… For other articles in this series visit http://jmm.aaa.net.au/catalog/section/jc1.htm.

These brief excerpts are meant to provoke thought/reflection…

More from Tom Wright:

[Marcus and I] stand shoulder to shoulder against all attempts to reduce the gospels to a set of theologically inspired fictions… My point remains that the genre of the gospels, and of the individual stories in which Jesus figures, lies along the continuum of history and biography, not of parable.’ (p. 216).

[Note from Rowland: To be fair to Tom and Marcus I'm presenting their summary-views before I offer some of my own... You'll have to *think* first, and then wait for my appraisal].

Shalom! Rowland Croucher
