Talk:Parable of the Unjust Judge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perhaps the story is autobiographical, and Mary is the basis for its heroine. Das Baz 15:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it is not really a parable, but an exemplary story on how to deal with unjust earthly authorities. Erudil 18:29, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jesus Seminar

Not that they cannot be cited, but their comments in this case are simply irrelevant to the question of interpretation. If you think it belongs in a section concerning whether this section belongs in the Gospel, well, then it might have a place. But then it opens up the discussion to what *everybody* says --- note well that the Jesus Seminar is not well-regarded even by scholars who agree with their conclusions. --Rekleov 16:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

To the contrary, my impression is that the Jesus Seminar is quite well regarded. Their conclusions are often unorthodox and even heretical, but are articulate and well-researched and consequently widely read and respected. Their membership includes many scholars who are notable in relevant fields. We should also note that many of the english-speaking scholars who might otherwise comment to this effect are employed by conservative Christian groups such as theological colleges!
