Ed posted to Achilles:
I have repeatedly demonstrated the irrelevance of the canonical Pauline
epistles to the historical Jesus question.

Ray:
Other than saying they could be heavily redacted (no doubt the gospels
are also), I must have missed your proof that they are irrelevant
regarding the question if there was a historical Jesus. How is it
possible that the earliest Christian documents we have (Paul's epistles)
are irrelevant to that question?

They might be irrelevant in helping to define who this person was
because there is not much in them that would lead us to the conclusion
there was such a person. If you start with the position there was a
historical Jesus, then they are irrelevant. They are very relevant if
you are examining that question however.

Regards, Ray
