He seemed to have been very interested in them, and if he was as thorough at studying their culture as he was at other areas of interest, I would think he would be aware of their religious beliefs? He spoke highly of their intellectual capabilities, from what I’ve read?

I know now. Fascinating.

(Of course, such a ‘combination’ could be seen to undermine the ‘range of purposes’ of the Gospels, each account presenting a different, and complimentary, central theme – as I would, ‘in a [very imperfect] nutshell’, characterize them: the Suffering Servant of Mark; the Fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets of Matthew; the Saviour of the World of Luke; the Human Face of God of John.)
