Rose and Rock: Origen and Josephus, Part 2
http://roseandrock.blogspot.com/2006/11/origen-and-josephus-part-2.html
Saturday, November 11, 2006. Origen and Josephus, Part 2. When we ask what Origen can tell us about Josephus, an important issue is whether Origen provides actual citations, or some other witness to the text of Josephus. It’s an open question whether Origen actually had a copy of Antiquities. He tells us that it was composed of twenty books and that the 18. Book contained a passage about John the Baptist (Ant. 18.5.2). Antiquities 20.8.5) . What is going on here? What kind of reason would he have? Some s...

Rose and Rock: Origen and Josephus, Part 3
http://roseandrock.blogspot.com/2006/11/origen-and-josephus-part-3.html
Wednesday, November 15, 2006. Origen and Josephus, Part 3. Each of the three times that Origen refers to what Josephus wrote about James, he uses the phrase. Adelphon Iesou tou legomenou Christou. This is an exact match with the current text of Ant. 20 rendered in William Whiston’s translation, quoted in Part 1. It has been argued that. Iesou tou legomenou Christou. Iesou ho legomenos Christos. Iesou ton legomenon Christon. Turns up 22 references to names like Jesus Christ, Simon Peter, Thomas Didymus, J...

Rose and Rock: My Jesus Puzzle review at Amazon
http://roseandrock.blogspot.com/2006/07/my-jesus-puzzle-review-at-amazon.html
Sunday, July 23, 2006. My Jesus Puzzle review at Amazon. As I wrote a few posts back, I've been composing pieces about mythicism that I hope to publish on permanent web pages rather than debating forums and blogs. I've submitted a review of. To Amazon, and what the heck, I'll publish it here, too:. And why do we not find ancient Christians, Jews, and pagans reporting or reacting to doctrines about a celestial Christ? This seems to Doherty like a polemic against a celestial Christ. The principle he is...

Rose and Rock: Obama, McCain, Palin, Biden
http://roseandrock.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-mccain-palin-biden.html
Sunday, October 19, 2008. Obama, McCain, Palin, Biden. Stepping into other people's shoes, seeing things through their eyes, is an ideal I constantly fall short of, and I deeply admire it when I see that rare quality in a politician or anyone else. What I heard was the voice of someone who felt that the way to inspire people was through sarcasm and bite. Not ideas, nor policies, but something colder, though it was certainly capable of generating a lot of heat. She's curious about power - how to influence...

Rose and Rock: Origen and Josephus, Part 5
http://roseandrock.blogspot.com/2006/11/origen-and-josephus-part-5.html
Monday, November 20, 2006. Origen and Josephus, Part 5. Can Origen tell us anything about the famous reference to Christ in Ant. 18.3.3 63-64, the Testimonium Flavianum? I think so, though what follows is surely indirect evidence. First, the passage in question:. Perhaps it was simply common knowledge that Josephus was a Jewish historian who had never converted. But that did not ultimately prevent traditions about Josephus to proceed onward to his conversion. Posted by Kevin Rosero at 1:37 AM. Links to m...

Rose and Rock: God's Country?
http://roseandrock.blogspot.com/2006/10/gods-country.html
Tuesday, October 17, 2006. I've just finished reading an essay called " God's Country. In the September/October issue of Foreign Affairs. By Walter Russel Mead. The full essay can be read for free, and is well worth the time. Mr. Mead has laid out a historical overview of American Protestantism, dividing it into fundamentalist, evangelical, and liberal camps, and he offers some observations on the directions that the United States is now taking. The country is, then, not turning into a monster by becomin...

Rose and Rock: A YouTube (no, U2) Christmas
http://roseandrock.blogspot.com/2006/12/youtube-no-u2-christmas.html
Monday, December 25, 2006. A YouTube (no, U2) Christmas. This has been a deeply contented Christmas for me, but it is not easy - nor my inclination - to get such personal things across in public writing. But I did want to offer something. For those who like U2, rock n' roll, Christmas, or any combination thereof, check out this video. Of "Where the Streets Have No Name" at YouTube. Posted by Kevin Rosero at 4:28 PM.

Rose and Rock: O night divine
http://roseandrock.blogspot.com/2007/12/o-night-divine.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2007. The stars are brightly shining,. It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining,. Till He appear'd and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,. For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angels' voices! Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born;. Oh night divine, Oh night, Oh night Divine. Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,. Here come the wise men from Orient land.

Rose and Rock: Reflections forced by a birthday
http://roseandrock.blogspot.com/2008/08/reflections-forced-by-birthday.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2008. Reflections forced by a birthday. So I find that my own capacity to understand, to listen, yes, to love, is going severely under-exercised. Not that this is anyone's fault but my own. I simply wish that I had not let this go on for so many years. Posted by Kevin Rosero at 10:46 PM. Hey email me man. you still on the cadre list?
