"Illuminating what was so revolutionary to the Romans and the more transactional religious institutions of the day.

Disturbing probably to biblical fundamentalist due to pointing out the contradictions between later “ Lukan” rewriting of the more authentically Pauline writings in the Bible." — Dec 31, 2023 09:31AM

Evan’s Quotes

“Later he would say that writing a book “is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.”
― William Manchester, The Last Lion: Visions of Glory 1874-1932
