Jesus Christ: The History (TRIH ep 288, part 2)
33 · Resource
Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook examine the historical evidence for the life, death and legacy of Jesus of Nazareth. They open by questioning elements of the Nativity narrative (Bethlehem versus Nazareth, the census and Herod stories) and consider how gospel writers may have shaped accounts to match Scripture and broader Roman-era narrative patterns.
