The Road Less Traveled and Not for Just Us

For much of my life I believed the lack of detailed information about the early years of the life of Jesus of Nazareth was a major cover-up. I believed it was suppressed because it did not fit the "story" being sold. Over the years, I have come to believe in a more refined truth. It does not exist because its retention was not important at the time he lived. By the end of his ministry of about three years, what was passed on was in keeping with an oral tradition; shepherds who became kings had their stories told and were written down. The results of carpenters' and masons' work could be seen, but their lives were not. How a man grew from a child to boy to man was not as important as were the results of his life. We are told a descendent of Abraham met God at a burning bush, but we are told little of how he got there. Victors write history. The victors do not include what does not support what they wish to be retained. For something to retained, its existence must first be known.
