Hmm, yeah, I’ve heard it described as an informal Sanhedrin run primarily by a corrupt chief priesthood. That would make sense of all the overnight activity. But, come morning, it does seem like the language includes the full court.

Can you say more about this? I know Ehrman uses this language, too: Jesus as an apocalyptic preacher. What apocalypse is he preaching and what are the implications/results of this apocalypse?

I think I understand why people want to exclude "the Bible" when asking about the historic Jesus, but can someone unpack that for me more because something just isn't quite clicking for me. I'm trying to remember back to the link @Captain Cranks posted earlier about the historical method and how...

The interviewer, Peter Williams, is someone I kind of like but he can be way too apologeticy for me. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they take things in an overly positive direction. I came across Schmidt's work from a tweet of someone I mentioned earlier, Jason Staples. Staples was a student of...

From the little I looked into it, his work isn't so much about supporting a historical Jesus but just about the legitimacy of the Josephus text. Maybe he does then use that to argue for a historical Jesus, but the only discussion I've seen is about the text itself and not to then use the text to...

This isn't something I've been all that familiar with, however I stumbled across some recent scholarship that is arguing for the authenticity of the Josephus passage. Here's a short podcast episode I listened to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn1P0krloq0. And, his book has actually been made...

I think a lot of the older guys will be FAs after this year.

There was a play late in the game yesterday where Bill had multiple defenders hitting him a yard in the backfield as 4 Commanders linemen/TEs were all laying on the ground. It's pretty baffling how bad this defense is. It doesn't matter what they do. Whether it's man or zone, four-man rush or a...

Four straight losses of 20+ points.

Over 2.5 games since Washington’s defense made a stop on a meaningful drive.

It’s pretty amazing how much space the receivers have.

They’ll score again. And again. And again.

First two were 4th and 1. The last one was 4 yards in a tight space because of the end zone. Also, being the end of the half and getting the ball to start the 3rd quarter, I think FG makes sense.

Other than incompletions, only one play has been for less than 3 yards (a 0 yard run by Gibbs).

Delay of game on an XP. Good grief.
