However, before you begin, you might ask yourself whether any of the professionals who have tenured positions at the major universities around the globe are asking these same questions in the way that they're asking questions about the historical Jesus.
If not, I think you will have the field all to yourself.
These 'professionals' are just as biased as any theist. They have already decided what they believe before researching. pocaracas has a valid point, but today's theists just ignore the fact that their religion is just a plagiarism of of the older religions.
Would that be true of the atheist and agnostic scholars of the NT, also?
