Hi, kalos; There is only one authoritative source of information about Jesus - the Bible. Within the Bible, all sources - Isaiah, Jeremaiah, John, Paul, Luke, others - are equally authoritative since all were inspired by the same God. This is true even though John, for example, was much closer to Jesus in time, space, and personal relationship than Isaiah. Apparent differenece among the Biblical sources must be harmonized. Differences between the Bible and extra-Biblical sources render these other sources irrelevant. Josephus, Origen, and spurious gospels such as Thomas and Mary may make for interesting reading, but there is no need to harmonize the Bible with them. The same can be said of any modern writer, whether the great apologist C. S. Lewis or the Jesus Seminar charlatan John Crossan. But you knew all that. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
