    These are the same Acts and Gospels written between 100 and 300 years after the death of Jesus in Aramaic, then translated to Latin?

    No, the ones written in Greek arounf 90 AD and still extant in Greek.

    There's really no reason to believe any Gospel, even Apophycal, was written later than 200 AD.

    Quote for the win... well that is how modern news would sound bite it. ;)

    More seriously...
    The later the writings the less trusting of the source. But why draw the line at 200AD not 150/100/50?

    What is the reasoning for the reason?

    ie Ghost writer needs a person who was there at the time as a adult, and currently has no dementia or history of hallucination. That would mean roughly speaking up to 50 years after the event one could have a large selection of eyewitness accounts. At 70 years after the events one might find a 20 year old who saw it. At 100 years the only eyewitness accounts would likely be from children. At 150 years it would have to have been a very long lived eyewitness.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
