<<...It is one thing to say that Jesus was an "apocalyptic". That is an interpretation. It is another to say he was an "apocalyptic nutcase." That is a value judgment.>> Yes. On the basis of his failure as an apocalyptician, I make that judgment. I think the beginning of wisdom is to get things in the right categories. Jesus stands in an endless line of delusionals who believed that the end of the world was about to come and who, in many cases, believed that their demonstrations of aggressive piety would hasten its end and secure survival and special privileges for them in the new world. So far, all of them may be justly described as deluded. N.
