S2 Ep 23. Spiritual Hero. Part 2. Evidence for Jesus Christ

The gospels, the supposed authoritative evidence for Jesus, are problematic. However they, along with Paul’s writings, point to a real Jesus of great charisma who lived at a time prior to their writings who said many remarkable things of a spiritual nature with great authority, who had a small band of followers and who was crucified since he clashed with the Jewish authorities at a fraught period of their history. Between his death and the writings of the Gospels sufficient time passed for amazing tales and fantastical legends to gather around the increasingly mythical figure of Christ. In this podcast we examine the evidence for Jesus Christ and whether the gospels are really witnesses to his life.
