Document Summary
74-78: about the goas and aims of jesus and his disciples. Why was jesus remembered that way? (le donne- type question) Lessing"s ditch ; if something happened to others, not real. Not just memory framed, but also representation of a person in their lifetime. Jesus doesn"t look for opportunities to heal people. If one part cant be evaluated, all cant be evaluated. Story for grounding for own identity, story that community of ppl tell to reinforce group identity. Nothing to do whether they happened or not. Active commemoration; intentionally remembering him as us and normative to shape who we will become . Le donne: any memory about jesus, useful to those who did the remembering.
