...blind and vociferous loyalty to a colleague in strife. Between the inquest and the trial, Hooper observed their righteous fury at a Brisbane meeting whose purpose, she writes, "was to establish that the police were the victims. This was real-life über-Australia up against insipid, politically correct, bullshit Australia. It was the cops, huddled close together, against those besieging them...

"Knohl's idea of a rising Messiah in Judaism, one who predates Christianity, may be correct. All the elements are there [in the tablet]. But I'm perhaps more cautious than he is." Jeselsohn says that while the discovery may question "the uniqueness" of Jesus' Resurrection, "Nonetheless, it gives credibility to the belief that [Jews at that time] were expecting a Messiah" - one who would rise from...
