Quote:Asserting as evidence of absence that Justin does not mention other "authors" seems a stretch.
Baloney. "Paul" is not just another "author." Supposedly he was the guy who brought jesus to the gentiles. Xtianity is littered with concepts like "Apostolic Authority" but you blithely suggest that the greatest apostle of all was not cited once in a major work?
Perhaps you should begin by figuring out exactly how much of the story you find credible?
