Paul Barnett's title Finding the Historical Christ is a calculated jab against the popular dichotomy between the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith. In this book Barnett seeks to establish that the two figures are in fact one and the same. The culmination of Barnett's After Jesus trilogy Finding the Historical Christ carefully examines the ancient sources pertaining to Jesus including writings by historians hostile to the Christian movement (Josephus Tacitus Pliny) the summarized -biographies- of Jesus in the book of Acts and especially the four canonical Gospels. Based on compelling historical evidence Barnett maintains that Jesus of Nazareth regarded himself as the prophesied Christ as did his disciples before Jesus died and rose again. This is the only way to explain the phenomenon of the early church worshiping Jesus.
