You're assuming that it happened in one fell swoop. Like everything else, it evolved. I suggest Richard Carrier's On The Historicity of Jesus. I have an electronic version if you PM an email address I'll send it to you. After that, compare the reasons for believing the Historical Jesus routine with it.
That looks like a good read. I just may have to invest in a copy.
