NY Times: Tablet Ignites Debate on Messiah and Resurrection
via NOR

Of course there are the academics who, with the tablet as evidence (of what, it is not yet clear), speculate about its contents in such a way as to contradict the divine origin of Christ and the Gospel. Richard Dawkins has a link. Could there be one or several oral traditions regarding the coming of the Messiah, one separate from expectations of a political savior? Could not such traditions (even if they were misunderstood because the words were understood incorrectly -- Israel referring to the nation instead of the 'new' people of God, the Church, and so on) be a preparation for the coming of Christ?
