[QUOTE="Johnnz, post: 65829373, member: 79454"] It is commonly accepted by scholars that the synoptic gospels were derived from earlier documents. They, and any underlying sources were also in circulation amongst eyewitnesses of Jesus who had their own memories and sources to judge them against. The Gospels are standard historical documents according to any non biblical criteria. Hence your conclusions about Jesus simply ignore the historical records as you bring your post-Enlightenment worldview screen into your analysis. That was the framework that debunked the entire bible by the mid 18th Century, but as stated previously, it failed under the accumulating evidence of secular studies in archaeology and ancient history. John NZ [/QUOTE]
