Was "the historical jesus" stumping for the orthodoxy..or was he a wild eyed radical, for example? Can these two men co-exist in the same, real and human skull?
Well upfront, this really is a topic that I don't know that much about. I'm not really that interested in what a historical Jesus might have actually been like (because I believe a nonmagical Jesus and a non-existent jesus amount to the same thing anyway) and I've read very little about it. I can only really respond to the shitty evidence that I've seen time and time again for mythisists (i.e. no primary sources etc.) I actually think that the movement itself is very interesting and has potential to gain a lot of traction in the Historical world, but not until it drops some of it's horrendous evidence.
