...your feeling right now? I thought she gave an excellent speech [at the Republican convention] and she is a moving and rousing figure. But I became concerned as the weeks passed at the manner in which the McCain campaign was treating her like she was a Fabergé Easter egg - don't drop it! It might crack! I can tell you that her interviews - to the extent that she has thought aloud - have not been impressive...

...remains to be seen whether Gabriel's Revelation, and especially Knohl's interpretation, will weather the hot lights of fame. Even the authors of its initial research seem a little dubious about his claims that it is a dry run for the Easter story. But, as often happens in such cases, they seem better disposed to a slightly toned-down assertion: in this case, that the Gabriel tablet does indicate a very rare instance of the idea that a messiah might suffer - a notion introduced in Judaic thought centuries before by the prophet Isaiah but which supposedly went...
