"This should shake our basic view of Christianity," he [Israel Knohl] said as he sat in his office of the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem where he is a senior fellow in addition to being the Yehezkel Kaufman Professor of Biblical Studies at Hebrew University. "Resurrection after three days becomes a motif developed before Jesus, which runs contrary to nearly all scholarship. What happens in the New Testament was adopted by Jesus and his followers based on an earlier messiah story."

The same story could be also found on today's NYT. Looks like this tablet and its interpretations will trigger new hot debates - both popular and scholarly.

Interesting. Thanks for the clip.

This same sort of thing was actually discussed and written thousands of years before He was born...

You can read all about it in what we call today the "Old Testament." There, we call it "prophecy."

Not exactly something to cause a believer to doubt.

Something like the story of Jonah
