Men, its well documented that a lot of evidence for the historicity of Jesus that's cited in the literature doesn't actually exist. There's really no good source on that front. Its been thoroughly destroyed by the religious bias. The only way to get a good idea is really to first get a PhD and go from there.
I certainly don't think you need a PhD to adequately study the topic... there's lots of good, unbiased resources on the topic.
If the evidence cited in the literature you're referring to doesn't actually exist, then it's not what I'd consider good scholarship and it's not what I'm referring to.
