Derek sits down with Dr. Paula Fredriksen, one of the world’s leading scholars on early Christianity, Paul, and the historical Jesus.

In this episode, we ask a foundational question:

With what kind of confidence can we know anything about the historical Jesus?

Paul is our earliest source — writing within 20 years of Jesus’ crucifixion — but he isn’t interested in biography. The Gospels are later. The canon is a 4th-century anthology. We don’t even know what texts were lost.

So what can historians actually say?

Dr. Fredriksen explores:

• Why crucifixion is the firmest historical fact

• Whether Jesus claimed to be Messiah

• The “Messianic Secret” in Mark

• Paul’s apocalyptic expectations

• Josephus as historical background

• Why the evidence is both strong and limited

• What might have been added later — and what probably wasn’t

This is not theology.
This is history.
