Who Was Jesus - Really?

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Has the real Jesus been so buried by tradition and legend that he is now lost to people living in the 21st century?

That is the question that is examined by a four part historical documentary called ‘The Christ Files’ that is airing on Channel 7 at noon on Good Friday, 21st March. Here is the blurb from its website…

“Historian Dr John Dickson sets out to discover what we can know for certain about the life of one of history’s best known and most influential figures. In a captivating journey across the globe, Dr Dickson examines ancient documents and consults the world’s most respected historians and scholars. Beginning with the Gnostic Gospels, he criss-crosses continents on a search back through time for the historical sources that reveal the real Jesus— a search for The Christ Files.”

I would be interested to hear what people think. Feel free to post a comment. More details about the documentary and a selection of interviews from it can be found at www.thechristfiles.com.au
