In many, many threads someone has been claiming there were "seven written eyewitness accounts." Now it seems to have been augmented with a claim that eyewitnesses were quoted in gospels.
Aside from all the personal drivel, does the claim have merit?Korah wrote: You're quite aware that I've been claiming around here that there are seven WRITTEN eyewitness accounts about Jesus included variously among the four gospels (might be some others in the Gospel of Thomas, Peter, Mary, that's not my "bag" (anybody these days still understand "Hippie" language--I'm really dating myself here).) That's not counting eyewitnesses that get quoted by others in the gospels, like the slightly varying versions of the three women at the Tomb (Mary Magdalene in John 20, the "other Mary" in Matthew and Mark, and Joanna in Luke 24). When ya gonna deal with all THAT, Z-man?
