He seemed to be an educated Jew, so probably not.

He certainly didn't have the time or the desire to write anything, that is certain.

where are you getting that notion from?
though I don't expect Galileans were that cultured in comparison to Rome, it's a misconception that illiteracy was so rampant in antiquity

That doesn't mean anything. You're assuming that reading and writing wasn't available to people from working families, but given the emphasis of Hebrew culture on reading and education that's dubious. Jesus very likely studied the Torah and the Talmud, which generally entails reading and sometimes even writing.

>> No.4061071

>>4061065
He was probably illiterate.
Just because the Gospels says he read the Talmud every sunday or whatever doesn't really mean anything.
They were probably lying.

>> No.4061078

>>4061071
>He was probably illiterate.
No, unlikely. Again, he was from a religious Jewish family.

Illiteracy might have been the norm on average for the whole Roman Empire at the time, but certainly not for religious Jews.

>> No.4061086

>>4061078
This.
The 'muh Scriptures are lying' posture expressed here

prevents us to taking in account the state of culture among people in Galilea at that time.
