It appears that Gary Wills has finally written something we can agree with:
"Wills rejects the familiar distinction between the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith. If the first Christians had not been radically tranformed by the resurrection - if Jesus had simply been a passing mystical figure - then you and I would not be thinking about or reading about Jesus at all....`The only Jesus we have is the Jesus of faith. If you reject the faith, there is no reason to trust anything the Gospels say.'"

Do you realize Gary Wills also said that the pope is responsible for murder? On Tuesday, March 14, he was interviewed on Boston's NPR station. You can find a post about it here: http://eagleandelephant.blogspot.com/2006/03/is-pope-murderer-wills-says-sure.html
In the interview, he is critical of just about everything the Catholic Church and the Christian Tradition represent. Some of his complaints were mentioned today by Dennis Prager. In the interview, Wills goes on to blame the pope for the many deaths resulting from AIDS around the world. Huh? Yep. You got that right. Pope Benedict XVI, according
