obviously a preliminary step is to prove the existence of the "actor" in question by what I consider an independent evidence. Note yet that "those hypotheses" meant by the prof Bermejo-Rubio are limited to a seditious Jesus. The Jesus proposed by you, i.e. a magician Jesus if I remember well, is not even contemplated among the hypotheses.Only those hypotheses which provide the most likely reconstruction of Jesus as an intelligible actor within the first-century Palestine under Roman and Herodian rule are adequate from an epistemological standpoint and deserve being taken seriously into account.
That is nicely said. I agree since it appeals to my own personal sense of logic and order.
