Interesting article challenging the belief that Jesus was a historical figure! .... There was no Jesus
Different groups of people who look at the person and the history of Jesus from different angles: The Christian theologians, who believe that Jesus was real... including all his miracles, resurrection...
Then there are the liberal Christians, who separate faith from history. They are willing to review and accept evidence about the non-existence of Jesus, without actually disrupting their traditional belief.
The third group who would believe in a historical Jesus, sans the miracle-rich aspects of the New Testament.
The author of the above article claims to be of the fourth minor group which doubts altogether the earthly existence of Jesus. The theory suggests that Jesus was a mythological figure, like Romulus or Robin Hood.
Major argument being: No historical records of Jesus during his lifetime. All posthumous records.
But I think the closest the author gets to proving is (as in his own words): ... if Jesus did exist, we know next to nothing about him.
