The Importance of James Tabor's Views on the Jesus Story

Cliff Hillburn: I'm going to take a drink because since it's Christmas, I decided I would get some eggnog. James Tabor is a highly eccentric individual who has studied the Bible. He could be considered a biblical scholar, but his views are very eccentric and are not widely accepted in mainstream biblical scholarship. Cliff Hillburn says, what's your take on James Tabor? Specifically, his opinions on the Jesus story being based on the teacher from the Dead Sea slash Qumran scrolls. And we have so that the wicked priest is one of the enemies of the teacher of righteousness.
