And do the those sillouhettes of men on the front cover have beards?
Cough, cough ... is this a rip-off Rob Bell's book title? |
The "silhouettes" appear to be John the Baptist baptizing Christ in the Jordan. This is really problematic for the "Ensey camp" on several levels. First of course are the beards. Ensey had published some articles and tracks back in the late 1980s and early 1990s declaring that "Jesus Had No Beard."
Next, this "baptism" appears to follow the traditional iconography of having John pouring water over our Lord's head. The Bible itself is unclear on this matter, however.
... and! Given the fact that the title appears to come from
Numbers 6:2, it's hard to say who "ripped off" whom.
