Interesting look at the historic Jesus and how much of Christianity was created 100 years after his death. Much of what is missing now is the revolutionary Jewishness of Jesus (as in wanting to be free of the Roman Empire) which was remade by those who came after him into a religion which would appeal to gentile Romans.

Especially interesting are all the stories which would have been a narrative (i.e. story telling instead of historical) aimed at then contemporary audiences who would have known that they were more meant as metaphor rather than historic accounting which have become cornerstone elements in Christianity. Stories such as being born in Bethlehem, the flight to Egypt, the misinterpretation of the two thieves being crucified, etc., are completely unsupported by any historical documents but serve great purpose in slotting the new religion into historic prophecy and appealing to new audiences.
