At this moment I was considering Jesus as a social entity, not a theological one {considering the possibility that he existed [or still exists (or even will be back)]}. In fact, I believe that what distinguishes a theological abording from a social one is the tangibility of the focused object.
I got this example from the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Catania - Italy, that includes a very interesting point:
-Tre tavole relative alla triade vitruviana;
-Lo studente dovrà tradurre dall'inglese all'italiano un capitolo del testo S,M,L,XL di Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Mau.
In English words, the student must prepare three plans relating to the Vitruvian triad.
And translate, from English to Italian, a chapter from SMLXL.
The funny thing: when I had to submit to my First Eucharist I had to talk about the Holy Triad (Father, Son and the Holy Spirit) and to resume some versicles of the Bible. Nowadays, as so many people around the world, I'm a non-practicing catholicist.
And propaganda still goes on.
