we ignore the fact that Jesus was a flesh and blood human being
Alas, this "fact" isn't based upon any historical evidence. The only support for this is the bible itself, of we have no idea who wrote or when. So no verifiable evidence for this "fact" at all.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: It's the historical term for it
I have read Josephus who was actually there Josephus does not speak at all about 1st century christianity. Any mention about a jesus character is disputable at best. Even if the lines are not interpolations, they are not evidence of the historical existence of the jesus character. NT Wright is not a historian. He is a theologian. Patient Ferment is not history, it is apologetics and propaganda. It is published by a christian propaganda publisher.

Re: It's the historical term for it
He is not a trained historian as he has been presented. He is practicing apologetics, not presenting history.

Re: It's the historical term for it
Even if Jesus was but a myth, the impact of the fictional character would still challenge modern secularist thinking.
As he is a myth, I do not see any threat. What do you even mean? You do realize secularists(whatever they are) are not a monolithic block and do not practice groupthink.

Re: It's the historical term for it
Chair of New Testament and early Christianity at the University of St. Andrews is not a History position. It is a position in the School of Divinity. No bias there. St Andrews appoints N.T. Wright to chair in Divinity | University of St Andrews news

Re: It's the historical term for it
Now you know that is not true. I critiqued your assumption that the jesus character was flesh and blood. Then I criticized what you claim are the sources of your knowledge. You are the one that is putting N.T. Wright up as an expert on history You are the one putting a Christian propaganda book up as unbiased history. You and your sources are biased. You and your sources are classic apologists, Have a conclusion and find any semblance of data to support that conclusion.

Re: It's the historical term for it
Never said I did not have any biases. It is very dishonest of you to imply that I feel that way. I have lots of biases. The difference is I am open and honest about them. I am merely pointing out the problems with your sources. They are biased and not historians as you presented them.

Re: It's the historical term for it
The problem is you presented N.T.Wright and as a historian. He is not. Now if you presented him as Christian apologists as he is then I would have no.problem. Edited by Theodoric, : Are is

Re: It's the historical term for it
But you should also point out that he is not a historian as you claimed.

Re: It's the historical term for it
Ok now provide us with who considers him an authority. Has he published in historical journals? Has he been employed as a historian? I do not see any position he has as a historian. They have all been theological and apologetics. Apologetics and theology are not history. They use history but in a biased way to arrive at a preordained outcome.

Re: It's the historical term for it
So nothing to show he can read the original sources. It takes more than a B.A. to be able to critically analyze texts in the original Greek and Aramaic. I am not saying he cannot. I am just saying you have not provided evidence to support your assertions.
