And this disqualifies him how? Many Bishops are better read than you or I. You people cant simply cling to science and hope in humanity and expect your kids to have a safe and sane future. You need to get out more.

Any mention about a jesus character is disputable at best.
It always has been. Even if Jesus was but a myth, the impact of the fictional character would still challenge modern secularist thinking. You may find my new topic interesting.

Re: It's the historical term for it
Interesting. Food for thought. So are you telling me that the Dark Mountain project is basic apologetics in disguise? I didn't examine it thoroughly enough---I assumed it was secular authors. Which brings up a question. Should we ignore any and all apologetics? If so, why? What makes me trust your boy Richard Carrier and the mythicists any better? I will grant that I need belief to be real. For me, it is real. But I also would feel more comfortable if I could have evidence that not just everyone except the apologists was sane and honest. Care to show me some proof or a bit more rational thinking?
as a further example, you once railed against Ravi Zacharias for some incident that happened in his life and poisoned everything he stood for, which I feel was unfair. I detected a bias against apologetics in general from your overall tone. I believe that he and RC Sproul were among the best Christian defenders and thinkers.
Add by Edit: I see you were referring to Wright and not The Dark Mountain Project. I thought I had lost it for a moment there.

Re: It's the historical term for it
The implication, however, is that Theologians are disqualified from speaking of secular definitions. I would argue that belief qualifies as a valid construct in human reasoning and rationality. Perhaps it shouldn't, strictly speaking (and in ode to the goddess of evidence) but it indeed does.

Re: Did Jesus know He was going to be resurrected?
Alex, tell me a bit about your experience with faith and belief. Do you come from a family of believers? Do you attend a church? Do you examine different sides and points of view when reading these discussions? I'm just curious is all.
Recognize this?
