Question

This person is thought to be referenced in an early letter from the Stoic philosopher Mara bar Serapion to his son. Books titled for “Misquoting” this person and this person “Interrupted” by Bart Ehrman discuss the criterions of dissimilarity (10[1])and embarrassment used to evaluate the reliability of claims about this person. A 1906 book by Albert Schweitzer lends its name to “quests” for (10[1])this historical (10[1])figure. (10[1])The two-source hypothesis argues that many of the similarities between (10[1])two texts about this figure can be explained by their use (10[1])of the (10[1])now-lost Q source. (10[1])This person’s historicity (10[1])has been confirmed using a reference to this figure’s brother James by the historian Josephus. For 10 points, name this apocalyptic Jewish preacher whose life is recorded in the gospels of the New Testament. ■END■
