Part I

In chapter 6 Norm continues his journey on finding historical Jesus by evaluating the later part of Jesus’s life, right up to his death. Nom first travels to Mt. Olives where he looks at a story that shows many similarities between Jesus and Lazarus. (189) He finds 4 similarities between the two and is very perplexed. Norm then goes on about whether or not Jesus’s arrival on a donkey was a political movement or not. The final section focuses on Judas and his betrayal to Jesus and discusses the disciples at the last supper. (220-227)

Part II

I thought it was interesting that Jesus in a sense predicts his death through another person and story. There were so many similarities between the 2 stories it is hard to deny the evidence. I also found it strange that scholars would mix Jesus and politics. I had never heard of or considered Jesus doing anything in relation to politics.
