Dear Tig. I’ve long held that conservative Christians are more at home in the Old Testament then the New. If Jesus came back - and used a pseudonym - they would crucify him all over again. Some say it happens every day. Love, Alan PS The Old Testament is an extraordinary compendium of sacred scripture. Enriched by Rabbinic commentary, it is even better. One can make a sound case that Rabbi Yeshua/Jesus dedicated himself to the elaboration of Old Testament commentary. But it seems odd to profess Christianity while focusing with such disproportionality on narrow, “literal” readings of the Old Testament. “A text without a context is a pretext.” PPS The Vonnegut quotation was “sent” to me by Mary Rider who, with her husband Patrick O’Neill (and the help of many others, including their 8 children,) operate the Father Mulholland Catholic Worker House in Garner North Carolina.
