Cheeky Exegesis

The Anchoress gives us Stephen Colbert Defender of  Gospels, taking on Bart Ehrman. I  don’t know what Pope Benedict would say for the style of his exegesis?  It does feel good seeing someone getting a few good punches in there for the Lord.  I think, though, of Jesus turning the other cheek.  However,  my feistier side recalls, Jesus calling out his assailant in John 18: 22-23 when He was struck by the temple guard, saying,”If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”  But, I digress.    I do like Colbert’s agility as an apologist.  However, for the sake of reverence,  feel on safer ground with Scott Hahn.
