I just am mystified by his behavior. He's spent his career ripping apart the Bible, showing how its changed, all the problems of pesudo-epigraphy, all the problems of interpolation and how murky the waters are when you go searching for the "true story". In fact, much of my knowledge of the subject, I owe to his research and reading his books. What is this Historical Jesus to him? Has he even defined this character beyond "some religious leader" or did I miss it?
