The idea
The anchor writes in a secular frame, stated as such: the four Gospels were transmitted orally and written about ninety C.E. by most scholars. Their account: a carpenter who preached salvation through forgiveness, was arrested for inciting rebellion, and was crucified about thirty-three.
In practice
Christ means anointed.
Where people slip
The course reports the Gospels' account as theirs. The dating is the scholars'.
