Neither Crossan nor Borg are trained historians. What evidence you they use to conclude that there was a historical Jesus? |

Because their Jesus underpins their politics, Crossan and Borg have a vested interest in arguing that Jesus actually lived, and a lack of interest in considering this question against objective historical criteria and methods. |
