You might not place so much transference of present-day capacity to the ancient past. They could not read. Forty years after these things happened you seem to pose the idea that men who would be in their fifties and sixties were all concerned with what some guy wrote (likely in Rome). It was not the gospels, it was a thing written by one guy.

Early faithful were members of a cult founded by Jesus whose leadership was taken up by his brother James. If you joined "the Way" you gave your personal possessions to the collective.

My understanding of this stuff is far from weak. Ehrman is a guy I just started with a short time ago. Karen Robinson, Crossan, Pagels et al. I have forgotten more scholars' name than you will likely ever know. Josephus made precious few mentions of the Nazarene preacher.
