Once I began to consider ‘Jesus’ as an ‘outsider’ or ‘guest’ to the ‘religious’ sphere of his day, I began to notice --
- the diminished place he assigned ritual and tradition,
- how he saw others (especially those dismembered by the ‘religious’ sphere),
- the way he was misunderstood and how he was viewed as a threat,
- his ‘non-religious’ interpretations of the Jewish Torah and related writings.
