About twenty years ago, when I was still forced to be concerned about religion, I was told by students of protestant theology that, as far as Jesus of Nazareth was concerned, there was no longer talk of him being the son of God. The religious scientists had gained new insight that Jesus was the enunciator of the one and only God of Israel, and that he was to bear witness to God before the peoples of the world.
Well, the theologist and scholars of faith must have locked themselves up those last twenty years. Because since then, I have been waiting that this special insight might reach the faithful people on the street, in their schools and churches and in their houses. What about responsiblity, and what about development? Not to mention education. They say, the Enlightenment failed. I guess I agree.
