Asa Don Brown

"Most of Jesus' life is told through the four Gospels of the New Testament, known as the Canonical gospels, written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

And through that door all kinds of mystical non-sense crept in and made place right alongside the good philosophical teachings of Jesus."
