Then there's Lil Monster over on TWeb who argues the opposite, that he can prove that Luke was a bad historian in his thread The Unreliability of Luke on the Resurrection
see his Posts #1, 3, 7, 8 10, and 12
but he has not been heard of over there for three weeks. How about you going over there and setting him straight?
(It wouldn't seem productive to invite him over here since your opinions seem as fixed as our other double-initial member here, aa.)

JW:
There are many parallels between you and Tatian:

1) Neither one knew/knows anyone who knew Jesus.

2) Both rely exclusively on written sources.

3) Both assume that Impossible Christian claims make the possible ones more likely.

And considering that Tatian wrote a resurrection harmony 2,000 years before you in the same language as your original sources, why do you prefer your "harmony" over his?

RELIQUARY, n.
A receptacle for such sacred objects as pieces of the true cross, short-ribs of the saints, the ears of Balaam's ass, the lung of the cock that called Peter to repentance and so forth. Reliquaries are commonly of metal, and provided with a lock to prevent the contents from coming out and performing miracles at unseasonable times. A feather from the wing of the Angel of the Annunciation once escaped during a sermon in Saint Peter's and so tickled the noses of the congregation that they woke and sneezed with great vehemence three times each. It is related in the "Gesta Sanctorum" that a sacristan in the Canterbury cathedral surprised the head of Saint Dennis in the library. Reprimanded by its stern custodian, it explained that it was seeking a body of doctrine. This unseemly levity so raged the diocesan that the offender was publicly anathematized, thrown into the Stour and replaced by another head of Saint Dennis, brought from Rome.
