Theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher suggested the existence of a lost collection of Jesus' sayings that he called the Logia. In the mid-19th century, Heidelberg's Heinrich Holtzmann synthesized the two ideas, proposing that both a protoGospel and an early, now lost collection of Jesus' sayings lay behind the Synoptic Gospels.

If Rubenstein calls Professor Skinner's Utopian projection the blueprint for the theory and practice of hell, what does he consider war, poverty, racism, overpopulation and pollution to be?
