I am in complete agreement with this article and have been so for a very long time. There is absolutely no conclusive historical evidence that Jesus Christ ever existed. The search for the so-called historical Jesus is a dead end, as the article below argues. There are, however, different levels of reality, and the riddle at hand were best summed up by Rudolf Steiner at a lecture in Zurich in 1912: The Mystery of Golgotha is a Deed of the Gods, a concern of the Gods at which men are the onlookers. The door of heaven opens and a Deed of the Gods shines through. This is the one and only Deed on earth that is entirely super-sensible. No wonder, therefore, that those who do not believe in the super-sensible have no belief in the Deed of Christ. The Deed of Christ is a Deed of the Gods, a Deed which they themselves enact. Herein lies the glory and the unique significance of the Mystery of Golgotha and men are invited to be its witnesses. Historical evidence is not to be found. Men have seen the event in its external aspect only; but the Gospels were written from vision of the super-sensible and are therefore easily disavowed by those who have no feeling for super-sensible reality.
