http://0rz.tw/nOq4f 這篇講得還滿清楚的 我看了四篇報導 包括Fox, Washington Post, International Business Times 都沒說 該書主張「耶穌=舊約時代的約瑟」 而是說 獸皮上所寫的 「字面上看起來」是舊約創世紀中Joseph跟Aseneth的故事 而該書兩位作者將字面記載 「破解」為記敘耶穌與抹大拉瑪利亞也是結婚且生兩個小孩 問題是 這需要破解嗎？字面上的記載就已經很合理了 ----主要段落---- The new book's subtitle reveals a second problem: "decoding." The authors claim this ancient novel carries a secret meaning. Joseph and Aseneth makes perfect sense without decoding. It's the story of how Joseph meets his wife Aseneth, who is Egyptian and a pagan. (Aseneth plays a minor role in the book of Genesis: Pharaoh gives her to be Joseph's wife, and she becomes the mother of Joseph's sons Manasseh and Ephraim.) The novel describes Aseneth as resembling Hebrew women more than Egyptian women: tall like Sarah and lovely like Rebecca and Rachel. She's also "hard to get." But Joseph follows up a fabulous first impression by demonstrating his virtue and piety. Aseneth falls in love, becomes a convert, and marries Joseph. For decades scholars have understood the novel as providing an inspirational example for Jews living in pagan societies. We know several ancient Jewish fictions that address what it means to live faithfully in hostile contexts. If the story is Christian, or if it includes Christian insertions, it's one of several conversion stories that we encounter outside the Bible. Yet Jacobovici and Wilson claim to "decode" this fairly straightforward text. We can "decode" texts to mean anything. For example, the current TV series "Sleepy Hollow" plays all kinds of games in decoding the book of Revelation. We all recognize the show as entertainment. More seriously, the Bible prophecy people transform the book of Revelation into a set of political predictions for the twenty-first century. Through the centuries other Christians also decoded Revelation to "predict" their own circumstances. They were wrong, and so are today's "prophecy teachers." The Joseph and Aseneth story needs no decoding. ---- 心得： 「破解」加「超譯」真是無敵驚悚組合 -- Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth Peace to People of Good Will. 天主在天受光榮，主愛的人在世享平安 --
