Glad to have caught up with you…I’ll be stopping by often. I, too, have a yearning to lead others back to our Hebraic roots.

For much of the 20th Century, dating questions were handled very differently than today. For example, the gospels were all given late dates to support the notion that what we have is more about the early church than Jesus (see Tom Wright on this), but in the last 20 years, we've seen the dates pushed back again, giving support to the idea that the gospels give us considerable insight into the mind of Jesus. Part of this is recovering respect for the sources and those who wrote them. It sounds as if much the same is happening with regard to the Mishnah. Thanks for this piece.

Thank you for including the references, also: I love to know what my favorite authors are reading! In "New Light" by Bivin some attention is given to divorce, which changed my understanding of what Jesus may have actually been commenting. For a simplified example, (and not to foment a debate) why is Fornication a justification for divorce, but a husband who has a bad day at work, and comes home to beat his wife, is not? Is this not spelled out? Thanks, again! This is a wonderful assertion and a good plug for several astute authors!
