"Surrogates" and the Meaning of Suffering (
by Jesse Martin)
About a month ago I went to see the movie Surrogates set in the not so distant future where people live their lives in the comfort of their own homes through remote-controlled robots called surrogates. Because people are safe at all times, and damage done to a surrogate is not felt by its owner, it is a peaceful world free from fear, pain, and crime.
Dr. Brant Pitre is one of the brightest up-coming Catholic biblical scholars in this generation. He has an unprecedented grasp of ancient Judaism and current biblical scholarship which is reflected in his latest book, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist.
