This book proves some important new theorems in the theory of canonical inner models for large cardinal hypotheses, a topic of central importance in modern set theory. In particular, the author 'completes' the theory of Fine Structure and Iteration Trees (FSIT) by proving a comparison theorem for mouse pairs parallel to the FSIT comparison theorem for pure extender mice, and then using the underlying comparison process to develop a fine structure theory for strategy mice. Great effort has been taken to make the book accessible to non-experts so that it may also serve as an introduction to the higher reaches of inner model theory. It contains a good deal of background material, some of it unpublished folklore, and includes many references to the literature to guide further reading. An introductory essay serves to place the new results in their broader context. This is a landmark work in inner model theory that should be in every set theorist's library.
The Gospel of John is a complex and intriguing testament, written on multiple symbolic levels—but it tells a very human story. Jesus was fallible; he made errors of judgement and found his plans scuppered more than once. In this gospel he is not divine and there are no miracles; every aspect of the text was written with both a theological and a mundane intended meaning. The significance of the former outweighed that of the latter for Lazarus, who found some aspects of the movement difficult to chronicle. The gospel thus contains secrets—hidden knowledge—but the keys for unlocking these secrets are provided for those who seek them. That others have discovered this version of the Gospel of John is evident in works of art and literature over the centuries, as elements of the ‘heretical’ story were hidden within their masterpieces; a 16th-century painting and the legends of King Arthur are discussed as examples. The Testament of Lazarus reveals that: ⸙ Jesus was a Samaritan by blood ⸙ His goal was to return a purified Israel to Shiloh, Samaria ⸙ He was married with grown children ⸙ His relationship with John was not what we think ⸙ Mary and Lazarus were central to Jesus’ plan ⸙ Peter was jealous, ambitious, and scheming ⸙ Jesus was held responsible for violence that got many killed ⸙ Pilate crucified another ‘disciple’ out of spite ⸙ Jesus survived the cross for a short time ⸙ Lazarus, Mary, and the son of Jesus were the real “Holy Family” Janet Tyson has an MA in Biblical Studies and was a T&M Wagner Foundation Graduate Fellow (UBC, Canada).
