John Dominic Crossan returns to the podcast to discuss the connection between human evolution and Christian resurrection. It was a blast! In the conversation, we mention some Dom\u2019s books, including The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary Behind the Church\u2019s Conservative Icon,\xa0God and Empire: Jesus Against Rome, Then and Now\xa0and How to Read the Bible and Still Be a Christian: Is God Violent? An Exploration from Genesis to Revelation.
\nJohn Dominic Crossan is an Irish-American biblical scholar with two-year post-doctoral diplomas in exegesis from Rome\u2019s Pontifical Biblical Institute and in archeology from Jerusalem\u2019s \xc9cole Biblique. He has been a mendicant friar and a catholic priest, a Co-Chair of the Jesus Seminar, and a President of the Society of Biblical Literature. His focus, whether scholarly or popular, in books, videos, or lectures, is on the historical Jesus as the norm and criterion for the entire Christian Bible. His reconstructed Jesus incarnates nonviolent resistance to the Romanization of his Jewish homeland and future hope of a transformed world and transfigured earth. Crossan\u2019s method is to situate biblical texts within the reconstructed matrix of their own genre and purpose, their own time and place, and to hear them accurately for then before accepting or rejecting them for now.
