Until the Judaic historical elements are addressed and dealt with instead of the prevailing reliance on Hellenist Greek redactions pretending to tell a Judaic account, the phrase “Historical Jesus” will remain an oxymoron. See http://www.netzarim.co.il
See expecially their Historical Museum pages.
Here, here!

I am pretty sure I have no idea what you are talking about Anon. But thank you for the comment. I will make Josh explain that comment to me.

I thought we’d left “historical Jesus” discussions behind in teh 20th cenutry. Has anybody been following the Jesus Seminar!?
Anne, I think the majority of people have left the historical jesus back in time, but I like to resurrect him especially because a lot of the people I talk to use medieval beliefs of inspiration and infallibility. I think there is still a good use for the work of the Jesus seminar because not everyone can piece the Bible together in a patchwork, postmodern, mythical, transformative, useful, way.
“….because not everyone can piece the Bible together in a patchwork, postmodern, mythical, transformative, useful, way.” Jeez, try not to sound too arrogant. You want to talk mythical, transformative, and useful, I’ll take Joseph Campbell over “Christian” thinking any day of the week.
Brian, agreed Joseph Campbell is my hero and he changed my life forever. As for the arrogance, that comment was made in the ironical nonsensical way that Josh and I were messing about in the intro. Meant to poke fun at the way we were talking.
Got it. Must have been too long a day to catch the irony. Thanks for responding. Good interview by the way.
Not that long of a day, I am just extremely dry and usually the only person to get my own jokes. Thanks for your commenting.
