...Apostles but by their anonymous followers (or their followers' followers). Each presented a somewhat different picture of Jesus' life. The earliest appeared to have been written some 40 years after his Crucifixion. Which was most accurate? Even Luther had a favorite Gospel (John) and appeared to regard the rest as less essential.

There was, for instance, the sale in Switzerland in 1987 of the Duchess of Windsor's jewelry at which the rich of several nations paid five, 10, 20 times their value for baubles once owned by that calcified drone of a woman, merely because another drone had resigned the crown of England to marry her 50 years before. Then there was the Andy Warhol auction, also in 1987, at which bidders sent the price of the defunct celeb's $25 black...
