“I would trade the book of Revelation for Hamlet any day.”
-- Bernard Brandon Scott at The Institute on Religion and Democracy
The more provocative argument in the article is that Jesus was illiterate, but I thought the Hamlet bit was a catchy sentence. Though, I think Revelation is a pretty fun book. As for the literacy of Jesus, well, I guess that could depend on whether you think Jesus is God or not. The thought that God cannot read is rather amusing. I don't feel like getting into it myself. Like I said, I just liked that quote.
