We’ve called this episode ‘The Quest for the Historical Jesus.’ The basic idea is that critical scholars try to dig a great ugly ditch between what they term 'the authentic Jesus', the Jesus of history, and 'the Christ of faith'. According to these critical scholars, the Gospels are the product of the early church. For mainly political reasons, the early church invented the Christ that we know. And so the job of the scholar is to sift through the Gospels, like an archaeologist who carefully chips away at different levels of an ancient structure until we get to the rock bed of the authentic Jesus.
In this episode we push back against such criticism and discover that it really shouldn't worry faithful Christians at all.
