Good article. Those of us who watch the (ABC) "History Channel", the (CBS and NYT) "Discovery Channel", and the (ABC) "Arts and Entertainment" Channel have been bombarded with the revisionist history of Jesus and Christianity this Easter season. This revisionism is largely due to the efforts of that motley crew of Leftist "liberation theologians" and spiritualists of the "Jesus Seminar" (e.g. John Dominic Crossan) who promote the "Jesus was a good Bolshevik, but neither a Messiah nor the Son of God" point of view. Sadly, the official Christian (Catholic and Protestant) response to this all-out assault on the canonical Gospels, and two thousand years of Christian teaching has been to provide Priests and Ministers to nod and smile while revisionists spin their scripturally unsupported theories.
Amen, ain't that the truth! Any time I see a show titled "{something something something} the {Jesus|Bible}Church}" on any not-specifically-Christian network, I completely ignore it. The MSM gives us a condescending pat on the head and tells us how Jesus and Christianity are fables. Good fables, mind you, but fables. Nice stories to share with your kids. Now we got flat out rewriting of the Bible going on, what with the poisonous revisionism aka the Jesus Seminar. Any of these folks read the warnings in Revelation 22:18-19 “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” ?
The Holy Bible of the Living God is an anvil that has withstood and worn out a lot of hammers...
That pretty much sums up their view, all right.
