I was very pleased to find this material by Martin Hengel produced as part of The Christ Files documentary series. Based on a lifetime of scholarly research his answers are refreshing.

  1. I love it! What do you do with the sensational stories about Jesus? “Read the gospels!” and “Remember what those sensational stories are about … making their authors rich!”
