Talk:Westar Institute

Notability
The institute is well-known as disseminator of historical Jesus skepticism. It sponsors the Jesus Seminar, as the article says. Mangoe (talk) 22:36, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it seems a bit odd that there a "notability" tag on this article when nobody is questioning the "notability" of the Jesus Seminar.--Muzilon (talk) 06:23, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Beads in urn: original research?
"The concept of voting on aspects of early Christian life and the accuracy of biblical sayings was not a unique innovation of Westar. Rather, it was based on 'the disciplined work of Bible translation committees, a very traditional scholarly practice,' based in turn on the more ancient Greek voting system that involved dropping colored beads into an urn." I think this statement is a synthesis of published material. The citation says nothing about the modern practice but only about the ancient Greek practice. OneGyT (talk) 00:31, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Given the lack of discussion in five years, I have removed this claim. OneGyT (talk) 22:09, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
