Jesus interrupted by bart d ehrman

He argues that a specific historical Jesus really existed in the 1st century AD. As he does in other works such as Forged and Jesus, Interrupted, he disregards an apologetics-based or otherwise religiously-charged approach to aim at looking at the New Testament using historical-critical methodology.
