Overview:In this episode, Ryan and Brian dive into a recent Christianity Today article by Daniel Silliman that sparked controversy by discussing scholar Jeffrey Paul Garcia's research suggesting Jesus' crucifixion may not have involved nails. The hosts explore the article's implications, the role of biblical scholarship, and the historical and archaeological evidence surrounding crucifixion. They also reflect on the importance of careful scholarship and its presentation to the public.Key Topics Discussed:Introduction to the Christianity Today ArticleArticle by Daniel Silliman references Jeffrey Garcia's research, which proposes that ropes, not nails, may have been used in Jesus' crucifixion.Published around Easter, leading to a firestorm of responses due to its timing and implications.Ryan notes he heard Garcia present this paper at the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) meeting in 2006, highlighting the slow dissemination of scholarly work.Context of Biblical ScholarshipRyan defines a scholar as someone deeply engaged in study, emphasizing that it's not an elite category but a commitment to rigorous inquiry.Describes the SBL as a diverse gathering of scholars, including conservatives, nonbelievers, and others, studying Christian, Hebrew, and intertestamental texts.Contrasts how ideas are received in scholarly settings versus congregational ones, noting the skepticism scholars face at SBL.The Article's Claims and EvidenceGarcia's argument: Nails are not explicitly mentioned in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), and some ancient sources suggest ropes were used in crucifixions.Ryan counters with literary evidence:John 20 explicitly mentions nail marks in Jesus' hands (verses 25, 27).Luke 24:39-40 implies wounds in Jesus' hands and feet, supporting the nail narrative.Archaeological evidence:Yohanan's skeleton (found in Jerusalem post-Six Days War) with a nail in the heel bone, suggesting nails were used.Govello skeleton in Italy, another crucified individual with ankle damage.Nails were often reused due to the value of iron, explaining scarce archaeological remains.Ancient Roman inscription lists nails as essential for crucifixion, reinforcing their use.Response to the ArticleChristianity Today's evangelical roots (founded with Billy Graham's involvement) make the article's publication surprising, as it was perceived to question scriptural inerrancy.Silliman issued an apology, admitting he didn't consider John 20 or the impact on readers' views of inerrancy.Ryan and Brian critique the article's presentation in a popular outlet, which may lack the scholarly nuance needed for such claims.Historical and Archaeological Insights on CrucifixionRyan references Martin Hengel's book, Crucifixion in the Ancient World and the Folly of the Message of the Cross, which details the widespread use of crucifixion by Romans.Crucifixion was not just execution but public humiliation, often near roads for visibility.Variations in crucifixion methods:Crosses were likely lower than depicted in media.Shapes varied (e.g., capital T vs. small t).Some were crucified post-mortem for display.Example: Peter's upside-down crucifixion per church tradition.Yohanan's leg fractures were likely post-mortem, not evidence of crurifragium (leg-breaking to hasten death), as initially thought.The Role of Scholarship in FaithRyan defends...

Many years ago, during one of the first college classes I ever taught, I asked my students to raise their hands if they were spanked as children. I was quite new to America at the time, and knew little about the lives of American families. On the Israeli kibbutz where I grew up, spanking children was practically unheard of. My own parents had never so much as raised their voices at me (except for that one time when I called my mother ‘whore,’ not knowing the meaning of the word but realizing it was forbidden. She slapped me, and then proceeded to apologize tearfully). What’s more, growing up in Israel in the 1960s and ’70s, we got our ideas about America from music and movies and the young volunteers who showed up after the Six Days War to help the then-fashionable Israeli cause. The America we imagined was therefore a liberal haven of wealth, freedom, and opportunity, where people got high, made love, and could pursue their dreams unbounded. Little wonder I wanted to go … The post The Spanking Debate is Over appeared first on Quillette.

In this podcast, we will be discussing the book An Improbable Friendship, by Anthony David.Friendships can happen in the most unlikely of places, in the most unlikely of times. Like romance, it is hard to predict who our friends will be, and even harder to ignore forces that make a friendship blossom. Such is the case of Ruth Dayan, an Israeli Jew, and Raymonda Tawil, a Palestinian Christian. If you asked either of the women if they thought when they first met after the Six Days War in 1967 that they would be lifelong friends, both would laugh and then make a dig at the other’s culture and politics, while professing their admiration for each other. That is their friendship—born out of conflict and forged through decades of turmoil and heartbreak, the two women have a deeply rooted respect and love for each other that transcends borders, religion, and nationalism. Each of them a power broker in a male-dominated society, their intertwined stories are ones of strength and determination. These Modern Athenas demonstrate that no matter a woman’s identity, we all want to create meaning and purpose for ourselves and in our world.

Yael Dayan’s memoir, Transitions: Close Up, translated by Maya Klein, is about losses and regrets, with fine focus on the detailed physical world. Dayan is the oldest child of the late Moshe Dayan, the moody and enigmatic hero of the Six Days’ War, revered as the symbol of the national and military rebirth of the Jewish people, yet reviled as Defense Minister during the 1973 Yom Kippur War for Israel’s failures. Host Marcela Sulak reads from the preface and a favorite passage on today’s episode. Text: Transitions: Close Up by Yael Dayan, translated by Maya Klein. Mosaic Press, Nov. 2016.

Thursday May 21st was "Jerusalem Day," and marked 42 years since the city was reunified as a result of the 1967 Six-Days War. At a ceremony that was held to celebrate that event, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "United Jerusalem is Israel's capital. Jerusalem was always ours and will always be ours. It will never again be partitioned and divided."
