Hi,

I don't think we want to convince the older generation. We want 
support of strong people. I don't feel like starting to run around 
trying to organize a lecture for Vermes about the historical Jesus; if 
you say that it is necessary, I'll do it, but it seems like a waste of 
time to me.

Vermes himself did not sound very enthusiastic about a cognitive 
approach. It is a waste of time trying to convince him, if we can find 
someone who is sympathetic in general, and would be ready to support 
our cause.

I'll try Ada tomorrow.

Let me know what you think.

Ronit
