The Real Jesus - a new hypothesis: The Historical Jesus, a New and Plausible Hypothesis

Background

Since my de-conversion from Christianity, my stepfather and I had been engaged in an email debate for several months.

On this occasion we were debating the historicity of Jesus Christ.

Specifically, I queried him on the lack of corroborating evidence from sources outside the bible, given Jesus' supposed fame (according to the bible).

He responded with ``What artefacts would one expect from that distant period for a preacher with an itinerant ministry for only 3 1/2 years in the Roman outback of Palestine?”"
