I ran across this blog post today and had to share it. The author, Matt Ferguson, is obviously well educated on the topic. In the post he discusses the characteristics of a “novelistic bios” and why the gospels fit this genre.
I am currently trying to write up the notes I’ve taken and further thoughts I’ve had about the resurrection. I am adding so much material that I will have to break that page up into about five separate pages. It may take a few weeks, but I hope by that time I can move on to examining what we can learn about Jesus and the very early church from the letters of Paul
