Not only that, if this is a Christian college, not a good environment to have to go through the motions after an episode of questioning everyone's faith. Just get your grades and move on.

I wasn't planning to be extremely provocative. I just thought I'd like to have a little fun.
Oh, and by the way, it's a high school.

I think you should ask him what happened to the resurrected "saints" who climbed out of their graves and shuffled into Jerusalem (Matthew 27:52-53). Did they hang out with their family until they died again or did they disappear or what?

Thank you for citing my work :-)

I think this Table is a very handy way of seeing the growth and lateness of the stories at a glance.

The spur for the idea was a simple chart on Earl's page showing the NT works spread out over the 1st century or so.

It occured to me that another dimension would be useful to show how the story grew.

The result seems useful.

May I politely note you linked the old version.

The new version is here:
