I’m Confused…What’s the Debate?
How does this discovery ‘fly in the face’ of Christianity?
It’s no secret that there was already a deeply-rooted messianic expectation before the birth of Jesus.
Is this just another example of the media hype-machine making something a bigger deal than it really is? I have to admit that I haven’t read too much about the Gabriel Stone, but I don’t see what’s so controversial about this discovery.

I thought the same thing.
Did you see the article in the johnson city press that extensively quoted Dr. Rollston? It’s a good article and pretty well covers his evaluation of the topic (I assume you didn’t get his email).
Re: No
“let the dust settle”
“Verifying a biblical text should never be the goal of a historian”
“complex”
“Good scholarship can inform faith”
“data”
It’s all so…Rollstonian, don’t you think? I mean, I can actually hear him say these things.
