They're the sorts of scholars who hypothesize something in chapter 2, and then cite that theory as proof in chapter 14. I would point Thog at them for his master classes, except that they don't pretend to write hard science. I found their books entertaining and not all that badly written given the usual paranoid conspiracy theorist level of Masonic lit'rachure, but their scholarship was lacking.
Still, Jesus was likely much more swarthy than the blond/blue pictures found in my Sunday school books and WASPy Picture Bibles. And given the nutrition of the times, likely a short man. Wonder where Knight and Lomas found evidence for his bad back? Or if the Roman WANTED posters were using an early form of "mug shot" designed to make the perp look dangerous...
