Historical Jesus

Be careful about distinguishing two very different propositions:

(1) There was a preacher named Jesus of Nazareth who lived in a certain time in a certain place.

(2) Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead and was the Son of God.

Specifically, evidence in favor of (1) usually has nothing to do (2).
