The Historical Jesus Fact or Fiction?

Welcome back! In this episode of Taste of Truth Tuesdays, I sit down with author and researcher David Fitzgerald to unpack Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed at All. We focus on:

• Myth #1: “The idea that Jesus being a myth is ridiculous” → Why the historical evidence for Jesus doesn’t match the hype (think Caesar crossing the Rubicon).

• Myth #4: “Eyewitnesses wrote the Gospels” → How the timeline and authorship reveal a different story.

• Myth #5: “The Gospels give a consistent picture of Jesus” → How each Gospel portrays a radically different Jesus.

David also shares his 25+ year research process, the myths that get the most pushback, and what it’s like to challenge cultural assumptions about Jesus.
