It's as funny as it is true. How much stock can your really invest into a so-called "academic group methodology" if the members of the group all end the research with as many different Jesi? Jesi that look exactly like their respect researchers too! John D. Crossan at least admits as much in a few of his works, but then falls back on those three major presuppositions anyway. Also, there are aspects of some of these works which are edifying, albeit very small aspects. If any good can be found in the Seminar, it would be the emphasis placed upon the historical Jesus's political and social unction. That is a positive thing. The Jesus Seminar fellows, however, gutted the entire faith and twisted it to fit a liberal/humanistic hermeneutic. You got it, Billy. It’s as funny as it is true.
