I once read the Jefferson bible. IT's the life of J.C. in, supposedly, chronological order and with all the miracles stripped off.
The result is: J.C. seemed to be just a person, perhaps a highly intelligent person, but constrained by the time and place where he was. Intelligent enough to argue with local scholars and wise enough to preach peace and love. Everything else is just embelishments.... if the man ever existed for real.
