Whats funny is that a jesus of nazareth may have existed - but you're not going to find him, whoever he was, in the pages of new magic book. That's about Christ.
That's not really true about romans and historical footnotes, btw - they were pretty big on dragging their dissidents and defeated political opponents very publicly and even literarily - we know of a bunch of loons from jesus day - because romans wrote it down. They didn't write about the character in new magic book..but why would they, there was never any such person as that character, though any number of real people may have gone into that character.
There are certainly aspects of the character of christ as told in new magic book that express or instantiate a then-present resistant jewish community struggling under the boot of roman authority, hoping that a promised (and very militant) savior was immanent - lamenting the fifth column in their society as they saw it much as the prophets of old magic book had done.
