Sheldrake video

[jaybreak]

Listening now. Sheldrake does what so many other Western scholars do, which is fill in a lot of the Biblical narrative accounts with whatever philosophical filter they put on, and it's almost always a Western filter. Instead of giving voice to the "silent" parts properly by putting the cultural and philosophical meaning of what He did, and what the gospel writers wrote--the non-Talmudic, Hebrew approach that was always there but in a corporate minority in Israel at the time--Sheldrake just writes in what he wants.

He has some good observations about general human and animal behavior, but they don't really apply exactly to what Jesus did.
