Document Summary
Mitchell says the gospel is apocryphal because different authors added segments to it years after. Can religion be embraced by the modern liberal progressive intellectuals? (this was an issue in the 18th century when anti-religion books are written) Writers of the enlightenment disapproved of the religious past of their culture. Stephen mitchell believes that jesus felt weird because he did not have a biological earthly father. Rumors are circulating that a roman soldier raped marry but the angel insists that. At what point in human history who would have started to say, how could there be immaculate conception? it was during the enlightenment that rationalists questioned this story. Mitchell states that he is not interested in supernatural aspects of jesus"s life; therefore, he does not dwell over the immaculate conception. Should you not identify as a christian if: god is jesus"s father and therefore, jesus is god, jesus died and then was resurrected.
