I have been reading Randy's book.
It has started me thinking along these lines myself.
Accordingly, although I am certainly not the first person to suggest this, I just want to say it here now.
Among great improvisers, even with the limited knowledge we have of details of his life and ministry, one can put Jesus' Ministry more or less at or near the top of a list of talented improvisers.
There are a lot of reasons for saying this. I don't want to go into a long list of them here.
Jesus was sort of a Luther of late Temple Judaism. He was dealt with by Caiaphas more or less in the way Luther would have been dealt, had the Vatican been able to lay hands on him without opposition.
One can read, for example, E P Sanders' book, The Historical Figure Of Jesus, to get some details on why I suggest this.
