Judaism and Origins of Christianity

[Forsaken]

Thanks for the suggestion. I have read some materials by E.P. Sanders and not particularly impressed. His work start from the notion that a historical Jesus existed and then builds upon this premise. Confirmatory bias is something I can do without!

As far as I am aware, every scholar in a relevant field who has a teaching job believes that Jesus existed.

Let me rephrase:
His work start from the notion that a historical Jesus Christ, in the form of the divine Messiah, existed and then builds upon this premise.
