I’m in that boat as well. It’s entirely possible there was a political rebel named Jesus in Jerusalem who got executed by the Romans for his troublemaking. I think that the Jesus in the Bible is the recipient of one of the biggest profile overhauls in human history.

The Jesus with magic powers that everyone know today? Quite frankly, a fictional Bronze Age superhero.

I read somewhere once that the Romans were master historians. They documented Spartacus and the slave rebellion. Why wouldn’t a Roman historian note a single man who supposedly caused that much chaos in their world?

This is almost verbatim what is written in Aslan’s intro to “Zealot”….
