I don't know. I am not in the Jesus Seminar, and I don't use "The Five
Gospels".
If I may, though, recommend a very excellent "life of Jesus" I would suggest
J. Maier's "Jesus". Two volumes are already available and Professor Maier
is working on vol 3 right now. He is thorough, brilliant, and decidedly the
most gifted writer on Jesus in our generation.
