Regarding the anonymous authorship. In that period, roughly a 300-year span, only about 2 out of nearly 100 biographical-style authors actually named themselves. In other words, around 98% of biographical works were anonymous, so anonymity was the norm, not the exception.
Plutarch who is arguably one of the most impactful historians from that era, never mentions himself once.
Ever notice that skeptics never seem to be concerned with that until it applies to the Bible.
This is really well presented. Awesome job!

There is that too. Picking the Gospels out as if they are a needle in a haystack. It's pure anti-God, anti-Christ bias.
Anons have been winning since the old testament days.
Excellent essay. Thank you
