Christian Writing's of the Bible: Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea

I am a license and ordained Minster and I am very careful what I study and what I read, I have to say both the writings of both these men have given me a great blessing and understanding of the bible, Reading the writing's of Nicodemus, he gave us so much detail of the Trial of Jesus including names and actions that took place, and what happened with the Pharisee's after Jesus Death and Resurrection of our Lord, and Joseph of Arimathea gives insight into the 40 days Jesus was on earth after the resurrection. and the robber that believed on Jesus on the Cross.
