Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up?

Ever since "The Da Vinci Code", there have been a host of high-profile media "revelations" about Jesus ("The Jesus Family Tomb", "The Gospel of Judas")--so much so that we now seem to be getting our information about this interesting historical personage primarily from The Discovery Channel and National Geographic. So, to counteract this in typical non-conformist CKUT fashion, this Christmas episode of The Big Idea is all about Jesus. I talk with Ian Henderson, Associate Professor of New Testament Studies at McGill University, about the historical figure Jesus of Nazareth--what we really, reliably can know about him and how we can understand all those flashy documentaries.
