Its about the the First Century AD and later. There's a rich written history of the era. No one's been shy about correcting the record when new evidence is found. The differences in social sophistication between the time of Exodus and Jesus' time were even more profound than between Jesus' time and now. Bundling it all together as "biblical fiction" is a convenient way to religion-proof one's self, but ignores the historical record.

No it's not "about that era" at all. It is about a make believe story derived from that era. Just because it uses historical information to help dress the story doesn't make it an attempt at revisionist history. Did anyone call it a documentary? If people of faith ar so worked up about this *story* then I think the real problem lies in their faith. The whole "contraversy" smells of profound insecurity.
Point well made, thanks. nt - clarkjohnsen 09:52:36 05/26/06 (0)
