       Resurrecting Easter, John Dominic Crossan
       Resurrecting Easter: How the West Lost and the East Kept the
       Original Easter Vision
       John Dominic Crossan
       look at the last page of this, the back page endorsements, look

       Okay, I used to have a reading balance plan, it worked great.
       But then I've had to let go of it and read all these sorts of
       books.  And there are more after this.  Need to do this.  But
       then after, no more.
       This book is really interesting.  Points out that in the Gospels
       there are no direct accounts of the Resurrection, only
       Resurrection appearances.
       Where as there are detailed accounts of the Baptism,
       Transfiguration, and Ascension.
       But there is much detailed art of the Resurrection.  And
       originally it was Jesus rising and bringing everyone else with
       him, like holding each Adam and Eve by the wrists.  This is on
       the cover of the book.  So the Resurrection was already
       universal.
       Richard Rohr delayed publication of his newest book on account
       of Crossan.
       So some how in the West this universal understanding was lost,
       but it has remained in the West.
       So I cannot spend too much time with this book, loaded with art
       works pictures, but I do need to extract the key ideas from it.
       It also clarifies on the copy write page:
       NRSV Bible copy write 1989, Division of Education of the
       National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA.
       And then we know that the I AM A CHRISTIAN movement then went on
       the make their own translation, NIV, an idiotic translation, to
       oppose NRSV and RSV.

       The Crossans talk about this, Resurrection Gate, Red Square,
       Moscow.
       Stalin had the building demolished in the 1930's to make way for
       large military vehicles for parades.  But in 1990 it was rebuilt
       to exacting detail.
       Notice the two portals, and then in the center a painting.

       This is the painting or mosaic right here, it faces in towards
       Red Square.  It is an example of that the Crossans are calling
       the Universal Resurrection.
       Here from their book, page 1, St. Ambrose of Milan, speaking of
       the death of his brother Satyrus, maybe the year 379,
       "If Christ did not rise for us, then he did not rise at all,
       since he had no need of it just for himself.  In him the world
       arose, in him heaven arose, in him the earth arose.  For there
       will be a new heaven and a new earth."
       They also draw upon:
       Anastasis : the making of an image / Anna D. Kartsonis (1986)

       Actually it would be very hard to summarize this book, dates
       covering 1000 years, and covering Christianity of both the East
       and the West, and the politics which influenced them.

       Arrows held in the left instead of the right.  Right holds the
       olive branch, to show that peace is the preferred course.
