The Problem of the Historical Jesus:
Was Jesus Re-Crucified?

Questions to be Considered: 

• Were the "Historical Jesus" and his teachings unsuitable for the purposes of the developing "Orthodox Catholic Church?"

• Were important early Christian writings rejected as "heretical" because their Jesus contradicted "orthodox" doctrine?

• What could the "Historical Jesus" have said that was so dangerous that he had to be silenced?

• Who was the "Historical Jesus" and what did he really have to say?
