The Historical Jesus Separating Man from Myth

Who was Jesus of Nazareth? A radical preacher? A political revolutionary? A mythical figure invented by early Christians? For two millennia, scholars, theologians, and skeptics have clashed over one of history's most explosive questions. The Historical Jesus: Separating Man from Myth cuts through centuries of legend, devotion, and political manipulation to examine what archaeology, ancient texts, and modern scholarship actually tell us about the man behind the myth. You will discover: - What Roman and Jewish historical sources actually say about Jesus, and what they deliberately leave out - How the Gospels contradict each other on key details, and what those contradictions reveal - The shocking gap between the Jesus of history and the Christ of theology - What Dead Sea Scrolls, ossuaries, and archaeological digs have uncovered about first-century Judea - Why Jesus probably never intended to found a new religion, and what he actually preached - The political forces that shaped early Christianity into the institution it became - What the lost gospels reveal about the diversity of early Christian belief This is not an attack on faith. It is a rigorous investigation into one of history's most influential figures, drawing on two thousand years of scholarship, archaeology, and textual analysis. Whether you are a believer, a skeptic, or simply curious about the man who changed the world, The Historical Jesus will force you to question everything you thought you knew.
