有个根本的问题就是,如果耶稣是虚构的人物,你还信仰基督教吗?
类似的问题,如果上帝不存在,应该信仰哪个宗教?(基督教,佛教,穆斯林,犹太教,印度教,萨满教,等等)
Historical Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term "historical Jesus" refers to attempts to "reconstruct the life and teachings ofJesus of Nazareth by critical historical methods", in "contrast to Christological definitions ('the dogmatic Christ') and other Christian accounts of Jesus ('the Christ of faith')".[1] It also considers the historical and cultural context in which Jesus lived.[2][3][4]
The vast majority of scholars who write on the subject accept that Jesus existed,[5][6][7][8]although scholars differ about the beliefs and teachings of Jesus as well as the accuracy of the accounts of his life, and the only two events subject to "almost universal assent" are thatJesus was baptized by John the Baptist and was crucified by the order of the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate.[9][10][11][12]
