I would like to get good online sources dealing with the History of the Bible during the Period oc Constantines rule and after. Many source I found on my initial search of the net were biased and sometimes a little wierd. I live in China and do not have good access to materials on and off the net.

Hi, shunyadragon, er, uh, Frank. Welcome to the site.

As for your question, while I do not know of any online discussions of solid scholarly work on your question, I do know that a book recently came out on the subject. It is entitled Constantine's Sword or some such. The author escapes me at present.

You may be able to find a review of the book online at the New York Review of Books (www.nybooks.com), or the NY Times book review, among others. That could be an introduction to the topic, or perhaps you could get ahold of the book yourself.

Good luck!

Welcome shunyadragon!

There have been several discussions on this forum about this very subject. A lot of it is here in a series of topics titled:

Did Jesus Really Exist?


There are many excerpts and book recommendations included in these topics as well as some direct links to books as I recall. All that and some great discussion.
