I am a lazy beekeeper. Despite my best intentions it’s about all I can do to crack open my hives and do a deep check once a month. Some of it is time scarcity, but more of it is just a lack of knowing what I am doing. As a result of not checking my…

I finished reading Zealot by Reza Aslan last night.  The book claims to be a look at the historical Jesus (as opposed to the theological or christological Jesus) and it does site a few other sources outside the gospels and epistles.  It mostly consists, however, of the author’s projections (or imaginings) of what was likely…
