  1. That article seems like an exercise in missing the point.

    1. Which point would that be?

    2. That the text is just a very short descriptive passage saying where Jesus was at a certain point in time. It's sandwiched in between rather more important issues, even for people 2 millennia later.

      Maybe I'm missing the the pressing importance of the issue that Keener is addressing. I get what he's trying to use the text for (last two paragraph summaries) and I suppose that's all fine and good, but it's a relatively inconsequential point in my view.
