@Sherlock-Holmes

hat’s a bit like discouraging people from reading Origin of Species given that we have so many more modern accurate books on the subject now.

I sincerely doubt your comprehension abilities Sherlock.
But I do admire your ability to draw a long bow and point it in entirely the wrong direction.

@Sherlock-Holmes

my main interest is in the ancient manuscripts that form the extra canonical gospels and epistles.

Which ones?

@Sherlock-Holmes

There’s as much prejudice these days as there was in Victorian times, any belief that we are finally free from prejudice when it comes to interpreting scripture, is misguided.

Yes, religion has quite the knack for prejudice.
Fortunately as the study of history, ancient texts and civilisations is becoming more and more secular and expert, and less the exclusive province of “theologians” and enthusiastic amateurs the prejudice is certainly less apparent and the findings more and more accurate.
