I suspect Fox had nothing meaningful to say about it either.
The recent discussion about Gibson's Passion prompted me to realize that what I thought I knew of the Gospels was hearsay, having never read them. So I did, in the Revised Standard Version. Then, on Mary Anne's recommendation, I began reading The Five Gospels [subtitled: "What Did Jesus Really Say? The Search for the Authentic Words of Jesus"]
(I'm halfway through Luke at the moment)
According to a consensus of scholars (Fellows of the Jesus Seminar), approximately 80% of the Gospels is hearsay, and/or editorializing after the fact by the evangelists (gospel authors). It's fascinating. So is the effort itself, close kin to archaeology: trying to reveal the person, through what he taught, from beneath centuries of misappropriation for religio-political purposes.
I realize it's an odd choice of study for a Jew about to begin Passover... but then, I've never been what anyone would call orthodox.
