>>>writes (concerning the story and joke about finding Jesus' bones):
That would be end of orthodox Christianity.
Ted entirely agrees. Jack Haught, incidentally, would probably not agree.
I've discussed this very issue with him over lunch. Other process
theologians would probably not agree either.
There is a joke about this. Many years ago the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem
(RC archaeologists) found such a tomb and couldn't handle it so they
consulted the pope. The pope rang Paul Tillich who replied" Why worry, I
never knew he ever lived."
Ted:
In the various version I've heard, Michael, it's always been Bultmann not
Tillich. But either way it works. Bultmann is supposed to have said, "Wow,
so he actually existed...."
