For years, from the age of 15 until I got married, in fact, I was a lifeguard and/or pool manager. I was at a variety of pools, many of which were very large and often had 100 or more people in the water at any one time. We had a […]

Geza Vermes comments on the role of Judas Jesus’ arrest. Vermes is an insightful historian with a fascinating personal history. He does not believe that Jesus really was the Messiah, etc. but treats the NT with respect as an historical source (one that must be read carefully, like any other […]
