Resumo:Was Jesus of Nazareth a historical figure? When performing a horizontal reading of the Canonical Gospels, the contradictions that surface while comparing their narratives are significant. If we cannot know for sure what is the true history of Jesus, how can we even be sure that he ever existed? This thesis aims to offer an exploration of the scholarly views of the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth. Starting from a base of ten New Testament scholars, this work seeks to understand the reconstruction of the traditions of Jesus that are more likely to go back to the period Jesus supposedly lived. I will also try to understand if the story of Jesus is more likely to be part of history, to be a legend, or to be a body of myths with little connection to reality. Following said analysis, I examine some of the problems related to the life of Jesus to which we do not yet have an answer or whose answers are not satisfactory. Lastly, I gather a collection of arguments for and against the idea of Jesus as a character of history, as a legendary figure, and as a mythological being.
