Re: Lena Einhorn's ideas

To me....it seems like attributing too much, too many contradictory qualities, to just one man.

I could be dead wrong.

Don't bother.

He is that as well.
Maybe.

(There's a word you might use more often, imho). :)

Re: Lena Einhorn's ideas

What's nice about this concept is that it pushes the first Gospel post Antiquities in the 90's Possibly, and I am not averse to that suggestion. But equally, all that would have been required was for the 50's-60's events to have happened and be known about. There would have been no need to wait for...

Re: Lena Einhorn's ideas

And (with apologies if I am repeating issues previously discussed in the prior thread, which I have not read yet): I remain curious as to where the 'love and pacifism' Jesus came from, in either possible scenario (Einhorn's concealed 'actual rebel figure' or a completely invented figure). I find it ...

Re: Lena Einhorn's ideas

She is essentially proposing a 15-30 year shift.

Which is a bit spread out.

Re: Lena Einhorn's ide

What if ... events from later were used as a stage set for an invented figure placed (safely, for similar reasons) in the 30's? The latter may work even better, given that Einhorn herself accepts that some of the parallels come from more than one period, not just the mid 50's (as per the 15-20 year...

Re: Lena Einhorn's ideas

One further thought (not directly related to my previous post): Regarding the 'relatively quiet' years (approx 4-37 CE) or as Tacitus put it, the years when 'all was quiet', during which, as Einhorn points out, Josephus hardly mentions 'robbers'..... Was this a quiet period? I gather that Josephus i...

Re: Lena Einhorn's ide

I would like to see the 'Egyptian' as one of the co-opted figures (just as Jesus ben Ananias) and not as the cause of the Christianity. Try this: Josephus says The Egyptian ran away from the Mount of Olives and avoided arrest. The gospels have an unnamed figure who ran away from the Mount of Olives...
