Discussions of compatibility between the Jesus Seminar's conclusions and Christian faith probably belong in the Politics and Religion forum. I will note, however, that Crossan not only was a Catholic priest until 1969, but continues to count himself a Christian. I'd expect either of those should provide ample justification for obsession with Jesus and Scripture.
