>>I wonder how Crossan, or Theissen or Funk or Mack (and the list could go
on and on) would respond to being told that they are reconstructing the
beginnings of Xnty on the basis of assumptions about Xn history.<<

Hmmmm. To even start to draw inferences from an undifferentiated mass of
data, they *have* to be making assumptions, if only by analogy from their
personal experiences, to start the process. Do you mean to suggest that they
are without doubt reconstructing "facts?"
