Quotes by Robyn Faith Walsh (?)

“Likewise, the rhetorical claims, themes, and narrative structure of the Synoptic gospels are artifacts of certain traditions of imperial-age literature, and not evidence of their reliability and “incomparable uniqueness” as religious texts.”

“The true origins of Christianity are in how its canonical texts were later collated, circulated, and established as authoritative, not in the mythic constructions we find described in the writings themselves.40 In other words, we should not confuse the aspirations of the second century for the realities of the first.”

“This book argues against approaches to the Synoptic gospels that treat them principally as religious texts. Such approaches impede our ability to evaluate these works as we would any other kind of Greco-Roman literature.”
