WHAT IF LUKE HAD NEVER MET THEOPHILUS?
Asking the 'what if ?' questions of virtual history is a way of rubbing our noses in history's essential contingency—in the fact that things could have been different, that human choices (among other contingencies) actually matter. And of all history's contingencies, those of authorship seem—at leas...
