I guess what I meant was his comparison of the narrative with other angelophanies or times when a divine guest surprises human travelers (and then a meal is eaten, etc.) in Jewish literature. But, yes, I thought his part about Emmaus and Cleopas was contrived and weak.JRPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08633544270796487585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010300921036003176.post-28279789946371350132013-09-25T04:32:51.279-07:002013-09-25T04:32:51.279-07:00@JRP The real question as I see it is, what "...@JRP The real question as I see it is, what "grounds" does he actually offer? I see a lot of contrived history, a lot of forced reinterpretation, but no reason to believe any of it.J.
