Color Codes
This page is part of the Jesus Database project.
In some cases, and especially when
reporting the voting outcomes of the Jesus Seminar, you will find text
represented by one of four different colors:
PINK indicates qualified support for the propositiion
The
question or proposition may often be a "simple" judgment on whether a
specific saying or act should be included in the database of historical
Jesus materials. However, sometimes the question is phrased in negative
terms so that a RED vote indicates dissent from historicity and support
for the proposition that such and such an event did not take place,
while a BLACK vote would have the opposite meaning.
Use of
colors in the pages of the Jesus Database is intended as a shorthand way
to express the historical and theological judgments reported by Fellows
of the Jesus Seminar.
