The New Testament and the New Testament Manuscripts
The new testament documents present to jesus, whose incontinuity with the story line of the hebrew bible is really important. The texts are a window into the first generation, back to jesu, in the early jesus movement. They're written by the people that jesus deputized. And so you have accounts from this in luke john and matthew,. of jesus authorize in these certain followers to become like his mouthpieces. There's no narrative at all about jesus sitting in a back room giving secret teachings to a few disciples. But there's no story of his death and strange but very much cryptic Platonic mysticism.
