Three renowned scientists—Papaia, Banani, Ravioli—and their assistant Igor work at the NASAL observatory.
Papaia remembers that the flight for the conference is in two hours.
With their suitcases—too many, open, and broken—they create chaos wherever they go.
The scientists have arrived at the check-in counter.
We are at the airport, where the four are getting in line.
Finally in line, they breathe a sigh of relief. Banani and Ravioli, taking advantage of the wait, continue their discussion about the book.
Banani: So, let’s recap… The first fact is the crucifixion of Jesus, and we’ve seen the sources. While the second is the fact that the disciples were convinced of Jesus’ resurrection, so much so that they publicly preached it and faced persecution from Jewish religious leaders.
Ravioli: Yes, and we’ve seen that we can prove this through Paul’s testimony and his letters, which most critics believe were written by him.
Banani: But earlier, you mentioned there are other proofs for this second fact.
Ravioli: Yes, besides Paul’s testimony, we have the oral tradition.
Banani: And what is this “oral tradition”?
Ravioli: The oral tradition was the way communities passed on information before it was written down. In the first-century Jewish world, it was common to memorize and faithfully repeat important teachings.
Igor: Important teachings? Like… don’t lose your passport at the last minute?
