A 1972 mosque renovation turned up parchment nobody was supposed to find, and it's been quietly dismantling a core doctrine ever since
Tanner,
It's curious - no? What animates the need of Faith to be unquestioned? What (writhing) insecurity is it that seems to squelch heresy?
For me, the story of these parchments - one that is still unfolding- is institutional fright. Which shows up in so many other places, contexts, times.
In short, another great pixel in the grand mural of the human condition.
Take care,
Alan
People get a little crazy about their religion. Each believe they are following the only ”correct” version. Every religion has evolved.
