My post about John Dominic Crossan was directly related to the book. My last paragraph was intended to forestall or deflect any concerns such as you raised:
I'm not discouraging you from purchasing or reading the book, but I do feel that it is important to make you aware of his viewpoint about Jesus. What he says in the book surely is going to reflect that viewpoint.
To express that point more colloquially, I felt that it was important for anyone interested in the book to know where Crossan "was coming from."
If I had made that post in the Politics and Religion forum, it would not have been seen by most of the people following this thread, who potentially might be interested in the information therein; therefore, I felt that it was appropriate to post it on this thread.
If TrevorViking shares his opinion of the Crossan-Wright book as I suggested that he do, perhaps he can post it in the Politics and Religion forum, and make a short post to that effect on this thread. Likewise, I will do the same if and when I can find the audio of the Crossan debate, which debate I now remember was with William Lane Craig.
