Question – Chapter 12:Further Imaginative Lives of Jesus, p. 161 [published 2005, republication of the 2nd English edition]
What is Venturini’s “Non-Miraculous History of the Great Prophet of Nazareth? What are its merits and problems? How many out of five stars would you give that book or would scholars give that book?
Charles Christian Hennell’s work (“An Inquiry Concerning the Origin of Christianity”) is Venturini’s work tricked out with a fantastic paraphernalia of learning.

Do you have Matthew and Luke published between 80 and 85 CE with Matthew coming before or after Luke?
