Friends,

Mel Gibson has only the surface narrative. Dr. Thiering shows
the pesher level of the history.

I'd like to clarify what I really did say about Jewish participation
in the death of Jesus.

The tensions of his times had produced two distinct kinds of Jews.
There were those like Josephus and Philo, who had benefited from
exposure to hellenism, and were able to recognise that the highest
kind of Judaism, its ethical monotheism, was superior to anything that
paganism could offer.
