The Search For The Historical Jesus - J.P Moreland (part 5)

J.P Moreland holds an in depth talk about the life of the historical Jesus. A harsh critic of The Jesus Seminar, Moreland objects to how the 70 or so members, read through the Bible, voting as a group on whether or not the words recorded where those of the Historical Jesus, also the claim that the early Church had no ''biographical interest in Jesus at all''.

Also interesting to note, the membership of The Jesus Seminar has dropped from 200 to 70, and now includes Paul Verhoeven, director of 'Robocop' and 'Showgirls'.

Jesus' image has been distorted by many, from Prophet to madman, claims he never existed, or that his life was simply based on myths and legends.

Few who make such statements on YouTube can back up their claim with any evidence, just source anti-Christian material.

What do you really know about the Historical Jesus, the most influential human ever to live?

When was The Bibile written?

Is the Jesus of The New Testament accurate?

Can The New Testament be backed up by archaeological evidence?
