The Search for the Historical Jesus of Nazareth was initiated 250 years ago because the NT was rejected as historically reliable and the rejection of the NT had NOTHING at all to do with Doherty.
Those who are searching for the Historical Jesus of Nazareth are STUCK in "Mud" since they ONLY have UNRELIABLE sources, the Gospels and Acts, that mentioned a character called Jesus of Nazareth, baptized by John.
From now on, any time any HJer tell me anything about their Jesus I will just tell them that their Sources are historically UNRELIABLE.
The Historical Jesus of Nazareth cannot be corroborated when non-apologetic sources do NOT mention an Obscure Jesus of Nazareth, baptized by John and crucified under Pilate.
The Sources that mention a character called Jesus of Nazareth also claimed he was Fathered by a Ghost was God the Creator or that he Walked on Sea Water and was well-known.
