Clickbait^2.
Having nothing better to do Author Candida Moss took a tour around the web, found a 2015 article on modernnotion (that cites a 2012 Slate article) and completely failed to even copy properly the relevant parts.
"The historian Josephus tells us that an irreverent Roman soldier lowered his pants, bent over, and “spoke such words as you might expect upon such a posture.”"
Not that the original Slate article is that much accurate, but at least there the Roman soldier is lifting his robe ...
The idea of the Roman soldier who lowers his pants is however so funny ...
- eth0up 10y agoMight we also deduce that if not a nom de plume, Candida Moss is the result of botanically inspired parents?
- jaclaz 10y agoWe might, the actually sad part is that - besides being a real name - she is a Professor at the Uni, a successful book writer and commenter on TV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida_Moss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida_Moss http://www.thedailybeast.com/contributors/candida-moss.html http://www.thedailybeast.com/contributors/candida-moss.html "Candida Moss is professor of New Testament and early Christianity at the University of Notre Dame and an award-winning author of five books, including Ancient Christian Martyrdom: Diverse Practices, Theologies, and Traditions and The Other Christs: Imitating Jesus in Ancient Christian Ideologies of Martyrdom.
