“So these liberals say historical research can’t possibly discover the Jesus of faith, because the Jesus of faith is not rooted in history. He’s merely a symbol,” Boyd continued. “But listen: Jesus is not a symbol of anything unless he’s rooted in history. The Nicene Creed doesn’t say, ‘We wish these things were true.’ It says, ‘Jesus Christ was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and the third day he rose again from the dead,’ and it goes on from there.
Dude’s getting a little upset here - name calling and all. What these “liberals” are saying, it seems to me, is that the Jesus of faith is pretty bad ass.
