Jesus as History. 
Why Jesus of the
Gospels Isn't Historical.  
Christians say that most secular
Bible scholars agree that Jesus was a real person. 
But what the secular scholars
actually mean is, Jesus was an ordinary man; he didn't do miracles. 
That is, he wasn't the Jesus of the
Gospels. 
Jesus wasn't divine is their view; the
Gospel writers spun yarns about a supposed miracle man.
A Christian view is that the Gospels
satisfy all the scholarly criteria of reliable historical documents.
Well, modern historians don't place
their trust in claims of miracles; so the Gospels fail to meet all of the criteria,
after all. 
No scholarly view can show that the Jesus
of the Gospels is real and not fiction.
