"the new heroes were the castaways of institutional religion.
they were repentant sinners, publicans, confessing tax collectors,
and harlots. and what of the old heroes- scribes, priests,
Pharisees, and Sudducees- the guardians of sacred ritual?
they now were dethroned, brought low, and told to
become like children. no wonder his message annoyed them.
no wonder they killed him."
