You want analytical...How about this for a start: bu.edu Frankly zonder, only when the interest and the study is your own will you be open to truth. Unfortunately for you, faith will eventually have to be an essential part of any revelation...Fortunately for you, it isn't outside of the realm of even the most intellectual.

Zonder, no offense taken. It is not my business whether you care to excercise one faith or another, or not. How one addresses the literature at hand can be discussed on a different level. I doubt you will find a significantly more "scientifically" aware treatment of the subject than Goppelt's. He began his university studies in physics. I don't know how much he did, just that he was accepted at a German university in physics. On the historical side, he is completely trained in, and interacts with, the most radical historical and literary tools in the analysis of the ancient texts. After addressing himself to the questions of those approaches, he then asks about any significance of the results of those inquiries. Those were my itallics. He asks about the historical inquiries into what Jesus did or did not say, or do, for instance. His is an opinion which has earned the right to be taken seriously on the subject. It is very difficult reading, and I don't know how much of it you could digest actually. But an out of hand dismissal of it on your opinion that it is unscientific is done out of ignorance, if you won't be offended at my saying it bluntly. It does not indicate a lack of intelligence, but ignorance on your part about the subject of your opinion.
