“We are narrative beings. Our humanness is built on the ability to understand ourselves in the context of a story, so we’re basically hardwired for stories”. And that’s why people do genealogy.

One of the best things about academic debate is the back and forth. Now it’s true, now it isn’t, now it’s true again. So. now the Gospel of Jesus’ Wife is fake again. Perhaps irretrievably this time. Too bad. That made for some interesting cocktail chatter.
And we’re back. Maybe Louis XVI was G-P15 after all.
