The New York Times recently ran this article about a pre-Christian tablet that speaks of a Messiah to be raised after three days. The article is interesting to me in that it points to the mixed response that evangelicals have to these sorts of things. On the one hand, it can be used to show that Christian interpretations of the OT are not so far fetched after all, despite some claims to the contrary. On the other, some have argued that it calls into question the “uniqueness” of Christian beliefs.
