” In 2014, three articles were published in the Journal of Law and Religion entitled "The Jewish Worldview", "The Problem of the Four Gospels", and "The Genealogical Background of Jesus". The articles were written by faculty members of the law school and four additional undergraduate students. The first paper is about the question of why the New Testament exists as a written record. The authors believe that the Gospels represent authentic accounts of Jesus' life and teachings, and that the Gospels were written at a time when Christianity was still a new religion, but that the Gospels contain errors and exaggerations which "advance a local point of view." The authors give examples from other religions, like Islam, to show that the Gospels are similar to other religions' works. As well, the authors believe that the Gospels contain some factual errors and inaccuracies. The second paper analyzes the genealogical background of Jesus and argues that it is non-literal and independent of contemporary culture.
The authors conclude that there are no traces of genetic relationships between Jesus and any historical figures. The final paper focuses on Jesus' genealogy and establishes a basis for establishing his time of birth. Jesus was likely born between 40 and 44 CE and would have been approximately 70 years of age at the time of his crucifixion, since Mary was approximately 30 at the time of her conception. The authors are concerned that modern genealogical research has failed to provide a solidly established set of independent sources of evidence, but the following sources of evidence are offered: Together these three publications address the questions of when the Gospels were written and where they were written. The papers also address how the Gospels were written, what these authors believe are the major reasons why the Gospels were written, and the fact that they were written at a time when Christianity was still a new religion, but that the Gospels contain errors and exaggerations
