If you haven't come across it do check out the discussion between Richard Bauckham and James Crossley.

Bauckham's book "Jesus and the Eyewitnesses" has been hailed as a paradigm shift in New Testament scholarship with its compelling arguments for the Gospels being eyewitness testimony.

A number of people have emailed their criticisms of Richard's arguments, that Papias in not a credible source, that his arguments are circular etc... see more here (http://www.premiercommunity.org.uk/group/unbelievable/forum/topics/claiming-that-jesus-did-not): would value your thoughts
