Refresh my memory. What is written above the head of Jesus on the Cross and what are the events of Resurrection Sunday, if you please.

Here's the link again, maybe this time you should read it: http://christianthinktank.com/ordorise.html

Your source does not serve your cause at all. Let me quote the summary.

Let me try to make a few summary points here at the end:

I have obviously not resolved all the surface phenomena of the narratives, nor have I even attempted to do so.

I have shown that the methods used by thinking and conscientious evangelicals--harmonization and integrative narrative reconstruction--are legitimate and important.

I have argued that the Christian does not necessarily have to submit to external and foreign criteria for 'plausibility,' and that the historical student should be a critical thinker relative to those who would attempt to impose arbitrary criteria on the process.

I have given examples of appropriate harmonization.

In other words, unless you accept the Magisterium's authority to interpret, you are reduced to babbling about things. This authority never does explain why they are different. Things are as they are, or else they are not. The four Gospel narratives are different. This does not, and confesses after much babbling, fully address why.

The Christian Think Tank that you think is an authority is as much of a sham as any other Protestant entity.
