Part I

In chapter 5 of A Hitchhikers Guide to Jesus, Norm seeks answers about Jesus’ resurrection.  The question that he seemed to want answered was how Jesus knew about his death.  Norm notes that the Gospels show Jesus having supernatural knowledge.  He gives examples from both John and Mark of how Jesus was all knowing (154-155).  Although many thought that Jesus did in fact have supernatural knowledge, there are many examples in the bible where his knowledge appears to be limited (155).  Norm then heads to Mount Hermon where he finds compares the metaphors about the building, rock, and endurance (159).  The chapter then concludes with Norm stating that Jesus may have not known about how his death would occur. 

Part II

The fifth chapter about resurrection seemed to be very challenging for Norm.  It is very hard to believe that Jesus didn’t know his actual fate since he was the perfect being.  Norm’s dream made the challenge even more difficult for him.  This chapter was very challenging because I always believed Jesus to be all knowing and now I’m questioning if he actually was or if he was just keeping information to himself.
