i appreciate how thoroughly the author addresses scriptural interpretations misattributed to conservative "christian" antifeminist and homo/transphobic talking points. however, i would add the Leviticus 18:22 aramaic-to-greek mistranslation of "boy" as "man" (thus, ironically, obscuring its purpose of condemning pedophilia by clergy). that said, as a gentile the author may not have a direct hebrew translation

i greatly appreciate the way the author makes note of the dishonest and often antisemitic representations of the pharisees as universally corrupt and unilaterally responsible for "killing christ". i particularly appreciate the way he directly addresses the falsehood of the idea that all pharisees were oh-so-happy about his execution and the lie that the romans were somehow hesitant about it. thanks!
