How much is a story credit worth?

Like if you conceived a story with someone and they adapted the story or idea into a novel or screenplay which then became successful, what is the story credit worth in career and monetary terms?

Atwill studied has been studying the Bible for the last 60 years. The ''accredited'' historians you mentions are the usual christian theological charlatans. They strawman arguments he never made, while ignoring the very relevant typology he unveiled. Prime among these is the ''three men crucified, one survives'' parallel in Josephus' Vita that is getting much discussion these days.

To disparage people with enough intellectual curiosity to actually look into his thesis just because they have strange or alternative hobbies is vicious and dishonest. I don't like ''parapsychology'' either or the others things you quoted, but I'm not going to go out of my way and defame honest work because some people I have no affinity with took the time to consider Atwill's work.

And again, it's a literary analysis. It has historical content of course, the analyzed works can't be considered without their historical background. The thesis is written for a general readership, not a chosen few.

The typology also represent him as the Messiah indeed, but the New Testament goes out of its way to state that being a member of the House of David is not a requirement for being the Messiah. The Gospels' different genealogies show this. Anyways, how can Jesus be descended from the House of David if he's the son of God and a virgin? I'm afraid you have a most erroneous understanding of the Bible

The Jewish messianic rebels believed also in a messiah, but coming from the House of Aaron. Material evidence point out that the Flavians made a mockery of all this, and appointed themselves as the Messiah. Josephus himself applied the Star prophecy to Vespasian.
