All merged.

And Kohl doesn't sound like a Christian -see this on his latest book.

I don't think that Kohl's theories support most Christian interpretations, which tend to rely on Jesus' unique place. From a review of his book on the Suffering Servant:

Quote:

Was Jesus really an innovative figure in Judaism, or was he instead the inheritor of a previously established belief system about the nature of the role of a Messiah? Traditional Christian opinions have ranged widely on this issue, with some saying that Jesus claimed a unique Messiah role, and others arguing that this was only claimed later by the Christian community, because it was totally unknown in Judaism. Knohl, however, argues that such a figure was not only known, but was filled by others before Jesus. He was not the first, and perhaps did not expect to be the last Messiah.

Thanks to Toto, he 's a good man around here who keeps things neet and tidy. Oh, and clean!

Toto, one of these days I am going to tell you that mythmakers are like ranchers but then in people and the stories they tell are like songs that enchants them into becoming free slaves. But I like it that way.
