@Know_More_News Good.





In this first cut, Wes Huff walks through Josephus, 4 Ezra, Qumran, Sirach and the formation of the Tanakh, showing how completely Jewish the world Christianity emerged from was. The scriptures, messianic expectations, apocalyptic sects, midrash and pesher were already there, while the boundaries of scripture were still being worked out in exactly the ways Wes explains. The real question is whether Jesus was preserved from history or constructed as a heavenly Jewish messiah out of these texts and later narrated as history. That is the problem with Wes’s framing. He walks you through the exact Jewish literary and theological machinery that could produce a myth, then simply assumes the finished product is reliable history and presents apologetics as though it were neutral historical analysis.
