AnswerScholars have several options on the historical Jesus:
  • Jesus was the son of God, and was crucified in Jerusalem around 30 CE;
  • Jesus was a wandering preacher who lived in Palestine in the first half of the first century but was probably not crucified by the Romans;
  • Jesus of Nazareth never existed - the early Christians believed in a purely spiritual Jesus.

R. E. Van Voorst (Jesus Outside the New Testament) says, "Some readers may be surprised or shocked that many books and essays - by my count, over one hundred - in the past two hundred years have fervently denied the very existence of Jesus."
