Re: Crossan on the historical Jesus
The Romans sometimes let the bodies the crucified convicted hang as a warning. So it is also theorized that perhaps the body was dragged off by varmits or dogs. Since no corpse was ever found. There is no non source evidence that he was ever buried. So all resurection accounts are taken from circulating traditions some decades after his execution. Although I must admit this possibility is somewhat disturbing as well as distastful, and of course not in keeping with the Gospels. Perhaps Brian can shed some light on this? **edit spelling.
