Didn't those artists know that he was an Arab Jew?!! Too funny. When I see Israelis and Palestinians on the news, I always picture Jesus looking like them. I also picture Jesus as being not so physically attractive. I figure when the anti-Christ comes, he'll probably look like a movie star and have the charisma of a politician. :)One more reminder for us that it's what's inside a person that's most important!<BR/><BR/>Guess I got really off topic, Seth! The Last Supper info was really interesting. Pretty neat stuff to think about.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264393130711805218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306308.post-1160169959893568202006-10-06T14:25:00.000-07:002006-10-06T14:25:00.000-07:00No, nothing contrary.

That's also where the "Jesus as Scandanavian guy" conception comes from. It was really nothing more than translating the gospel into the visual language of the day. How da Vinci's masterpiece became the dominant concept of the Last Supper I'll never know.<BR/><BR/>Can we say for <I>sure</I> that the table was arranged exactly as Edersheim postulates... no. But his description of the table is absolutely accurate and it is an explanation that fits very well with the narratives we have. At the very least it should serve to knock down some inappropriate preconceptions and get the creative juices going.<BR/><BR/>The 'U' shaped arrangement was a hand-me-down from the Greeks that was also used by the Romans. Since Israel was Hellenized, this is merely one of the customs that was adopted.<BR/><BR/>It's monstrously interesting and like I said, it does make good sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23306308.post-1160167979246550132006-10-06T13:52:00.000-07:002006-10-06T13:52:00.000-07:00Cach, heard anything to the contrary?Cach, heard anything to the contrary?Seth Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027729307468958273noreply@blogger.com
