hmmm....as to this documentary itself, haven't seen it, but it sounds like it could perhaps be something like the findings in roswell. people will fit this into their existing worldview; believers will not find it convincing, skeptics may cite it as another piece of the puzzle as to how jesus is a myth based on a regular joe who may have been a rebel rabbi.
as to the disconnect between the actual doctrine of various flavors of faith and the understanding that any particular believer or sect of the faith may have; well, i don't see any resolution to that one. seems that all groups based on some sort of organized set of doctrine have these sorts of issues; i don't think that we'll see any movement en masse to have significant portions of society become scholars any time soon. i don't think that most people's faith works that way; its a worldview based on some loosely agreed upon tenants that are shared throughout the community. given the social and philosophical functions it seems to take on, i just don't think its really that crucial for most people. whether it should be or not would seem to be a function of personality as much as anything.
