The Galilee Episode: Two Men in One Bed, Two Women Grinding
Ronald William Goetz (Author), bìa mềm 226 trang, tình trạng bên trong tốt, giá dán ngoài bìa.”I tell you, in that night,Two men shall be in one bed,One shall be seized, and the other left.Two women shall be grinding together,One shall be seized, and the other left.” (Luke 17:34-35)Some people believe that Jesus never mentioned homosexuality, but according to Ronald Goetz, he mentioned two gay and lesbian couples. Learn why they were arrested, and why they were treated differently after their appeal (one seized, the other left). Was there a cover up by Jewish and Christian scribes, or did they simply refrain from telling story anyone could understand? Did Christian scribes cover up the presence of gays and lesbians among Jesus’ earliest followers? Did Talmudic scribes cover up the failure of the rabbis to enforce Torah in Galilee? The author says each of the major sources for first-century Palestine (the Talmud, the gospels and Josephus) contribute their own details to the law-enforcement puzzle. Evaluate for yourself the evidence of a jurisdictional test case. For centuries the evidence has been in plain sight, and “expert witnesses” have denied its significance. Starting from key “rapture” verses in Luke 17 Ronald Goetz uncovers a debate between New Testament scribes themselves over the gays and lesbians among Jesus’ followers. He carefully compares Luke and Matthew to uncover the debate over gay and lesbian couples. The book is imbued with a sense of history, describing the historical Pharisees, their pivotal leader Yohanan b. Zakkai, and the targets of R. Yohanan’s vice campaign to Clean-Up-the-Galilee.Readers will find numerous takeaways here, as in gays and lesbians in the Q Source, at the root of what became Christianity and rabbinic Judaism, and a curious reticence to acknowledge the circumstances of their simultaneous births. Instead of presenting a grand narrative, this is a history of two verses. It describes the legal conflict they encapsulate, tells the story of how they came to us in their present shape, and explains why it took so long for us to see it.89.000VND
