To some, yes.
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?
