Cultural nuance is missed in our dealing with such texts. Jesus' decision to spit in mud and rub it into the man's eyes can seem puzzling unless its context is upheld.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=reluctantfundie.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3789709&amp;post=293&amp;subd=reluctantfundie&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Truman is a true man. Or is he? What is a true man?
