I have been asking around about something my New Testament professor said. He stated that there is a good chance that, based on historical chronology and authorship investigation by scholars, the four gospels may not have been written by their supposed authors. He also went on to say that when you take out the menial stories that don't really say anything about Jesus in the gospels you find 4 different stories about who Jesus was.

Has anyone heard anything about this? I'm trying to get in touch with Bart Ehrman at UNC Chapel Hill so that I can talk to him about this.
