Is Jesus of Nazareth A Literary Creation

Researcher, Daniel Unterbrink joins Dr. Rita Louise on Just Energy Radio where he shares his groundbreaking research on the historical Jesus.  Was Jesus a living breathing person or was he a fabrication of early church fathers.

Daniel T. Unterbrink has dual degrees (Accounting and Education) from the Ohio State University.  He spent over twenty years in Medicare Auditing and retired four years ago. His educational background and work experience in Medicare auditing gives him a unique advantage over most scholars. He does not believe anything without solid proof: a good auditor does not make snap judgments but rather is guided by the data. That is why he rejects the modern scholarship approach of interpreting history through secondary sources such as the Gospels and the Book of Acts. These secondary sources must be interpreted through the lens of primary sources, such as Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius, Pliny and the authentic letters of Paul. His method raises many questions that cannot be answered by the traditional interpretation championed by scholars. As such, Unterbrink has attempted to steer clear from any one interpretation of Christian origins, and has followed the actual historical data in developing his own unique narrative.

In 2004, Unterbrink published his first book, entitled Judas the Galilean. This book set forth the theory that the historical “Jesus” was not the Gospel Jesus of Nazareth but rather a man of history: Judas the Galilean. He followed that up with two other books, New Testament Lies and The Three Messiahs, which strengthened his argument based upon more historical data.

His new book, Judas of Nazareth, summarizes the findings set forth in the previous books and adds significant insights into the formation of the Gospel story as well as the life of Paul. With the help of Barrie Wilson, author of How Jesus Became Christian, Unterbrink hopes to shed new light upon three main questions: Who was the historical Jesus?, Who was the historical Paul?, And, who wrote the Gospel of Mark?
