It is precisely the spread of text that accounts for the spread of understandings about Jesus

Geza Vermes: Jesus the Man of the Spirit: "Geza Vermes portrays the historical Jesus as a charismatic teacher, healer, and exorcist who believed in the soon-to-be-realized Kingdom of God. Jesus was a Hasid, a Galilean holy man, on analogy with other holy men such as Hanina ben Dosa." All well and good but the "more" about Jesus stems from the degree of reach created by the gospel stories themselves. These create an infinite pool from which we gather new understandings each nanosecond.
