We continue our series looking at the birth of Jesus and our belief that he was the God of the universe arriving in the fulness of time. This week we will spend some moments tracing some high-points in the search for the historical Jesus, while noticing that scholarship has come full circle – the 4 canonical gospels are our earliest historical sources for Jesus. Historically, we can’t get behind them. We can’t pull back the veil. If their picture of Jesus is unreliable, then there simply isn’t a reliable reconstruction of him available.
