	Jesus Christ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Jesus is also regarded as an ascetic prophet, by many Muslims; as a false Messiah, by Judaism and Mandaeanism; as a manifestation of God, by the Baha'i; as an avatar by some Hindus ; and, as a guru by many New Ageists.
		Most discussions about Jesus, including this one, involve a conflict between contrasting, and in some ways incompatible, views of the world and of how humans acquire knowledge (this subject is discussed in the disciplines epistemology and metaphysics).
		Jesus did preach the immanent end of the current era of history, in some sense a literal end of the world as people of his time knew it; in this sense he was an apocalyptic preacher bringing a message about the immanent end of the world the Jews knew.

	Historicity of Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Extreme Multiplicity of Thematic Sources of Jesus
		The author of the book about Christ as exorcist is wrong in that he doesn't read exorcism as an expression of the core idea of mystery- experience in which one discovers animalistic broken logic about one's control agency and loathes it as a lower, alien pollution and seeks to eliminate it forevermore.
		Most essentially, Jesus Christ is a Hellenistic mystery-religion figure whose storyline expresses the altered state experiences that the initiate experiences first-hand; his storyline is that of a political/social/religious rebel leader against the in-power establishment which claimed divine approval for the established social ordering of the world.
		She should be arguing that the most profound or original or important or dominant source for the Jesus figure was astrotheology, while acknowledging that other themes were essential and important as well.

	The Gospels As Historical Sources For Jesus,
		These 'apocryphal gospels' vary from novelistic accounts of improbable marvels surrounding Jesus' birth and childhood (especially the Protevangelium of James and the Infancy Gospel of Thomas) to elaborate discourses on Gnostic cosmology presented as the post-resurrection teaching of Jesus to his disciples (several such were found at Nag Hammadi, notably the Sophia of Jesus Christ).
		According to this view most of the stories and sayings of Jesus were remembered as independent oral 'pericopes', which were preserved or altered as the needs of the various churches required, with little concern for the historical basis of the material.
		It is suggested that Jesus selected and trained his apostles as guardians of a tradition which was designed for easy memorization, a tradition which included not only his teaching but also key incidents of his ministry.

	Rejection of Pascal's Wager:Jesus: Non-Christian Documentary Sources
		The major source of information on the life of Jesus is undoubtedly the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).

	APPENDIX: The historical evidence for Jesus (Yeshua)
		Clearly there are events recorded in connection with Jesus’ life that non-Christians will not accept, such as the miracles, the virgin birth, and the resurrection.
		However what is beyond dispute is that Yeshua (‘Jesus’) of Nazareth was a figure of history, who lived, attracted a following in his life time amongst his fellow Jews and was executed by crucifixion by the Roman authorities, after which his followers spread rapidly.
		The primary sources for the history of Jesus’ public life are the gospels.

	Jesus and the Earliest Sources
		Jesus was a “peasant Jewish Cynic,” who never thought of Himself as the Jewish Messiah, much less the Son of God or the Savior of the world.
		A possible third source is the Gospel of Thomas 82, which quotes Jesus as saying he “who is far from me is far from the kingdom.” Entrance into the kingdom, according to this passage, was dependent on having a relationship with Jesus.
		Crossan proclaims Jesus as a “peasant Jewish Cynic” who preached a message of egalitarianism and did not think of Himself as the Messiah, much less as someone who was equal with God Crossan’s first strata sources, however, actually paint a picture of Jesus as the Jewish Messiah, Savior, and incarnation of God.
