And I think you have no historical evidence f...

Re: HISTORY AND THE GOSPEL JESUS
The civil war between his father and his uncle split the populace, so a claim that the masses supported him is iffy. Now when Antony had received Antigonus, as his captive, he determined to keep him against his triumph. But when he heard that the nation grew seditious; and that, out of their hatred...

Re: HISTORY AND THE GOSPEL JESUS

I agree. JtB is the most important character in the stories (besides IC of course), the rest are just background.
