No, Jesus WASN'T Special. (feat Dr James Tabor) (Jeremiah Johnston response)

Bible scholar Dr. James Tabor joins us to discuss the evidence for Jesus' resurrection, debating Christian apologist Dr. Jeremiah Johnston. Tabor argues that the Dead Sea Scrolls show similar "suffering servant" messianic motifs existed in Judaism before Jesus, undermining Johnston's claim that Jesus' death and resurrection was unique and unexpected. Tabor also argues the earliest Christian view was Jesus' resurrection was spiritual, not physical, based on Paul's letters, contradicting later Gospel accounts. Overall, Tabor uses scholarship on early Jewish messianism and analysis of New Testament texts to challenge common apologetic arguments about the uniqueness of Jesus' death and resurrection.
