(September 14, 2015 at 3:56 pm)Randy Carson Wrote: Wouldn't this be another example of the New Testament authors having accurate knowledge of first-century Jewish culture?

And if so, wouldn't this suggest that the NT was written earlier than mythicists normally admit?

And if the author of gJohn was reliable in this small detail (among numerous others that have been archaeologically verified), doesn't this general reliability of the author suggest that he can be deemed reliable regarding the life, death and resurrection of Jesus as a whole?

It doesn't suggest he's reliable at all, nor does it suggest when the bible was written.  We don't know how long the custom persisted, and how widespread it was.  I do find it interesting however that you're willing to accept this as evidence for the bible being reliable, but still are ready to accept the Shroud of Turin as the burial cloth of Jesus.
