“For Christians, the ultimate historical struggle between conservatives and progressives is the struggle between Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders of his day. The conservative, intransigent religious establishment loathed and feared Jesus partly because he reinterpreted everything in both scripture and tradition through the lens of himself as the Christ, the unique and pre-existent Son of God.

They thought their hatred was pleasing to God. They thought their rejection of Jesus would keep society rightly ordered. They were definitely on the side of scripture as interpreted by their tradition, but we can see that scripture had been incorrectly appropriated by skewed tradition.”
