Modeller; Oddly enough, I just happen to be reading at the moment 'The first Christian, St Paul's Impact on Christianity', by the estimable, Karen Armstrong. Paul was a contemporary of Jesus though they never met, but it might be as close as one can get, being the first of the gospels. She is a great fan of Paul, though doesn't hide the fact that he has been subject to much criticism through the ages.
But Christianity isn't about the absolute and correct historical truth, how and why should it be?

Khandro - //But Christianity isn't about the absolute and correct historical truth, how and why should it be? //

How? It can't be - it is based on faith, not fact.

Why should it be? - It would give a deal more weight to a concept that is based on a desire for it to be true, rather than any evidence that it is.

As I have often said and on many threads, only seriously weird cave-dwellers believe in literalism.

Khandro, //As I have often said and on many threads, only seriously weird cave-dwellers believe in literalism. //

And as I have often said it would be helpful if someone would explain how anyone - weird cave-dweller or not - decides which bits to believe. Since you've posted that link perhaps you'd care to step up to the podium?
