Talk:Robert Eisler/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article on Eisler is much more than dishonest. It gives the impression that Eisler was a scatterbrained, unable to manage biblical questions. Indeed, he was the first scholar who put all his efforts into the old russian version of Jewish War. Before his research on the slavonic version, scholars were not acquainted with the subject. This is a wretched and factious article, probably written by an apologist not acquainted with Eisler at all. For example, the author says that S. G. F. Brandon assumed that Jesus was a zealot, but the grim reality is that Brandon never spoke of Jesus in these terms. On the other hand, Brandon drew the figure of Jesus near the zealot party, but he never identified the Jesus's moviment with that of zealots.
