Maurice Casey and healing blind people

On page 270 of his book 'Jesus of Nazareth' ,Professor Maurice Casey of the University of Nottingham writes 'Jesus’ use of saliva will have encouraged the man, who will have heard and felt Jesus’ spitting in his eyes, and who will also have been aware of the healing properties ascribed to saliva. The saliva will also have removed dirt and dried secretions from the eyelids. '

As well as being an expert on reading Aramaic documents he has not seen, Maurice Casey is also an expert on curing cataracts. Apparently, you can cure blind people quite easily.

One thing you can do is spit on their eyes. Saliva removes dirt and dried secretions.

Washing your face is certainly something a blind person can try. Make sure your hands are clean before washing your face though , or there is a danger that you might just be adding to the dirt and dried secretions on your eyelids.

How much are the University of Nottingham going to charge students for this kind of scholarship?

From 2012, you will have to pay 9000 pounds to be able to claim that your Professor is the renowned Maurice Casey.

Save your money.
