I'd point you to the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are much more contemporaneous than the assembled new Testament. The new Testament itself was a political document, with much of the writing left out ( the Apochrypha ). It calls into question much scripture accepted as Gospel. I rank Christ right in there with L. Ron Hubbard and Joseph Smith myself, but Christ ( and Mohammed ) have the cover of centuries of obscufication.

So why are the Dead Sea Scrolls taking so long to translate and why did someone squash the translations that were already done and preemptively published? Did they contradict conventional church dogma?
