Bart Ehrman has some great lectures, MacDonald has a good book on why Mark is a clear rip of Homeric epics.

http://evilbible.com has a lot of interesting verses. Make sure to check the context though since they've been known to ignore that when it is important.

A very interesting book, The Homeric Epics and the gospel of Mark, makes some compelling connections between Odysseus and Jesus (they both have 12 incompetent followers...both try to keep their divinity secret...both expel an evil spirit, turn it into 2000 hogs, and drown them...).

Mark was written in Greek by someone who most assuredly had Homer's style pressed into his head as he wrote this magnificent Gospel!

In "100 Years before Christ", another author notes that for all of Paul's works, he doesn't mention any anecdotes about the life of Christ. He must have met some people who had some contact? He, rather, describes the "Heavenly Christ" who died for our sins...

The suggestion I get from these two works is that Paul wrote first, about a Christ long-dead ("100 years..."), and Mark was the first (?) and best to present a chronicle to establish an orthodoxy?

I don't know anything. I'm just a reader. What do you recommend?

Thanks.
