Quote by Lee Strobel
“Crossan also gives credence to what he calls the Cross Gospel. “Does that fare any better?” I asked. “No, most scholars don’t give it credibility, because it includes such outlandishly legendary material. For instance, Jesus comes out of his tomb and he’s huge—he goes up beyond the sky—and the cross comes out of the tomb and actually talks! Obviously, the much more sober gospels are more reliable than anything found in this account. It fits better with later apocryphal writings. In fact, it’s dependent on biblical material, so it should be dated later.”
