Quote:You have four separate stories which you have stitched together to appear as one narrative.
I don't know about that, X-P. Generally speaking the one later known as "mark" was first. It was expanded by those known as luke and matthew but really it was just a retelling of the same old shit. And "john" sets itself up to contest some of the wimpier aspects of the earlier stories....for example, in "mark" jesus stands there like a dummy at his alleged trial saying next to nothing but in "john" he's a regular Chatty Kathy.
So I'd say there is one basic myth and a bunch of fan fics written as add-ons. Remember that we have to include all the other "gospels" which did not make it into the Big Book of Bullshit.
