What do you mean by "wrote"? Do you mean "was attributed to"?

whoever it was that wrote mark - since both matthew and luke plagiarized the fuck out of mark. that's bound to wind up being more words than the writings that people still agree are paul's (which excludes a couple of the traditional ones).

you never defined volume. volume of what? obviously you dont mean the two accepted definitions of volume as a measurement (the amount of 3 dimensional space occupied by an object, or the magnitude of sound).

I don't know, but I do know that a Roman Sun Worshipper heavily edited it for socio-political reasons, making sure that anything referring to Jesus as mortal was removed.

Ooh, do you have a source for that?

(I really want to believe you on that, it would piss a Christian friend off no end :D)

I wish I did. I think I read something about it in (of all places) an RS lesson in a christian school. Try web-searching it - I think the guy who did it just happened to be a Roman emperor, who was a dualist (believed in sun worship and christ).

I actually just realised I know fuck all about Roman religion (I don't mean the mythological aspects of it, but the everyday duties and obligations part of it)

John, Johnny Johnny John, the Johanine community authors of Johns Gospel also wrote the letters of John and revelation, as well as others i just can't be bothered to look up.

Mathew wrote the biggest Gospel, but a country mile ‘John’ wrote the most material in the N.t

And if we are adding to this, there was Matt and Luke Goss (Bros.) :p
