But on the basis of what solid history can be got from this, it fits rather more comfortably with a Christian worldview than with an alternative worldview.
Actually, I'm quite comfortable with an alternative to the Christian view of Jesus' prophetic prowess. Why couldn't Jesus miss? It's because his alleged prophesies are placed in his mouth by authors and editors working decades after the alleged events and supplying him with privileged knowledge, i.e., their knowledge of how events unfolded.
