Who was Jesus of Nazareth—really? In this video, we explore a book that maps out 125 years of scholarship on this question. Rather than chasing sensational claims, Helen Bond carefully explains how historians work with ancient sources, what we can say with confidence about Jesus’ life, message, and death, and where the limits of historical knowledge lie. This excerpt offers a grounded, accessible guide to understanding Jesus within his first-century Jewish context—and why the historical question still matters today.
