Is this controversial?

The old liberal received wisdom was that the NT books were late, late, late. 2nd century forgeries.

All these accounts were written 50-100+ years after Jesus. Why the delay? Why no accounts written contemporaneously with, or shortly after Jesus?

And with that time delay, doesn’t that imply a 2nd- or 3rd-generation telling of the story, with all its inherent distortions of the original?

“Is this controversial?”

Should it be? It is about the truth. It is about everything O’Bozo hates. It is about who we are. Controversial? Ha...
