So what do we have so far. Say we allow that Jesus was crucified, and he had a brother called James that was stoned to death. Can we pin anything more than this on him? What else is there that makes him the "same" jesus as in the bible?
That alone makes it pretty clear he was most likely to be the guy the Biblical texts are talking about. We can also add that he was probably from Nazareth in Galilee (and we have some evidence that some of his relatives still lived there at the end of the first century), that he was baptised by John and that, like John, he preached an apocalyptic end times message.
