Dear Steve,

I am sorry but I cannot help you get to the resources you seek. However,
and without wishing to unnecessarily ruffle any feathers, from your first
post I was interested in your comment:

<<< It is easy for me to believe that people remember their own histories
through their ideological lens, filtering out those things that might
threaten their "construct".>>>

It seems to me to be doubly hard to get to an accurate idea about the
events recorded because we read their histories through *our* ideological
lenses, filtering out those things that might threaten *our* "constructs"’

I note in your second post that you say of Paul (and it may equally be
said of Luke) that:

<<<He does however have the benefit of being a lot closer to the events, and
is a much firmer candidate for eyewitness status, which does gain him some
brownie points...>>>

Just an observation!

Sincerely,

Kym Smith
