I would think a Gnostic, such as Stephan A. Hoeller, or one well versed in Gnosticism, such as Elaine Pagels or Timoth Freke, would have belonged on your list. And why not a couple Muslims? Certainly the Quran contains more references to Jesus than the Torah/Tanakh/Qumran documents do~ seeing as the Torah contains exactly none, and the ones in the Talmud are laughable. Why would a Jew have anything of value to add to a historcial Jesus discussion? And BTW, everyone in your group was male, which I find shocking. Quote:

We see the exact same thing in later epistles as well. Epistles and gospels are two totally different things. Both Polycarp and Ignatius clearly post-date Mark, yet contain none of the biographical information that it contained. Quote:
