I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

Two Giants Walk Among Us No More

Dallas Willard, a Christian philosopher, and Geza Vermes, a British scholar of Jewish Hungarian descent have both passed away. Willard's book, The Divine Conspiracy is a must read. Vermes' book, Jesus the Jew has become a classic in the area of Jesus studies.

Tony Jones pays tribute to Willard. Mark Goodacre offers his thoughts on Vermes.

They will be greatly missed.
