> Paul would need to make all the other 12 apostles buy into the story and start spreading it. I'm not sure that follows. What works do you believe that we have from these 12 people - and how would you evaluate the relative credibility of them and Paul / Saul? As I understand it, Paul conceded he got all his information <sic> about Jesus from revelation, and there's a compelling argument to be made that his works all describe a different entity (a supernatural one) than the human-like character described elsewhere, and much later, in the NT.
