Articles About Jesus

Over the last year or so, I've had the chance to correspond with several friends who had thoughtful questions  relating to Jesus.  I had already completed a major draft of The Metaphorical Gospel Theory, which took considerable time and effort.  These short articles, on the other hand, were just things I wrote in answer to specific questions.  I did no fresh research to speak of, just wrote off the top of my head. 

One exception to this is "Structured Stories with Eyewitness Control", which is my perspective on the Synoptic Problem.  Another is "The Evidential Case", which is the very brief distillation of other studies I have done.

I'm very open to discussion on any of these issues.  I could be talked out of some of the conclusions reached here; to overturn other opinions would take a considerable case.
