About the Book
The historicity of Jesus Christ, as described in the Gospels, has long been a principal dogma for all Christian denominations. In India, where the search for the historical Jesus remains largely unknown to even the so-called educated elite, missionaries continue to promote this dogma without facing contradiction. However, in the modern West, there has been a significant shift. Over the past two hundred years, through extensive Biblical and Christological research—largely carried out by theologians from Protestant churches—this once-solid historical figure has evaporated, questioned and analyzed to the point where its foundation is now highly debated.

This book critically examines these changes, highlighting the theological and historical developments that have led to the diminishing historical certainty of Jesus Christ's figure. Through rigorous research and a careful examination of the Bible and other Christian writings, the author challenges established beliefs and brings to light the lesser-known aspects of the quest for the Jesus of history. The book aims to shed light on this crucial subject for both religious scholars and general readers interested in understanding the evolving narrative surrounding one of history’s most influential figures.
