Did Jesus leave any writings? Why or why not?
Seems to me that this question has never been asked. Any takers?

Tradition (at least) has it that Jesus left no writings, probably because He didn't believe in the practice of the Pharisaic party (sect, subgroup) which was very much enamored of writing volume on volume of commentary on small parts of the Law. (My recent research uncovered for me that the current Rabbinical Judaism is a direct outgrowth of this Pharisaic Judaism) The assertion by certain German "demythologisers" was that He left no writings because He wzs illiterate, a clearly ridiculous proposal. Jesus of Nazareth had a Temple education and was reported to have read from the Scriptures in the synagogue. Hutch
