CX,
Beautiful work. Now if only U had done that six posts earlier!
I rest my case.

CX

What case?

As if I hadn't made my point enough, I consulted both the NIV Life Application Study Bible (a thoughtful gift from an evangelical friend of my wife) and the Ben�t's Reader's Encyclopedia and both attribute GLk and GMk to Luke Paul's "beloved physician" and John Mark the missionary companion of Paul and Peter respectively.

Thus unless IntenSity can demonstrate otherwise I rest MY case that two of the gospels are universally attributed to neither one of Jesus' disciples nor an eyewitness to the Gospel events. QED.

Thanks! Why isn't Wells on here? Also, what about people like Detering and the Higher Criticism Crowd, or is this only Pre-WWII mythicists?

Greetings Vork,

oops,
Wells was left our by oversight .. so obvious I ommitted him.

The list tends to be old authors as I started my research in a Theosophical library with classics like Massey and Kuhn.

I don't know much about Detering or the higher criticism crowd - I'll go look into them .. perhaps you could return the favour and expand my list a little?

C.F. Dupois, Strauss, Godfrey Higgins, Bauer, Robert Taylor, Massey, J.M. Robertson, W.Benjamin Smith, Drews, Rylands, Couchard, A.B. Kuhn.

Let's add Robert Price, Wells, Eisenman, Alvar ...was Eysinga a mythicist? I was just reading his argument today that Galatians was a late forgery. Burton Mack? Gerd Ludeman? Michael Wise? Although I think the last sees Jesus as a real human and the heir to a tradition.
