> Would you discount them solely because of their age?

There was this one book I heard about... claims to be made up of books and letters and epistles from apostles and such, written no later than about 1900 years ago. Clearly out of date.

Yes, my point is that reviewing thirty pages which contradict hundreds of years and tens of thousands of pages of scholarship is not that likely to change my opinion, but to dismiss the work I suggested because it is a 19th century work does not strike me as well reasoned.
