ofc everyone knows who Jesus of Nazareth is and at least a portion of his story from the bible, but could it be that he was a real man and more of a social revolutionary than we give him credit, at the time, Christianity was founded on the belief in individual responsibility to yourself and others, in total contrast to the roman paterfamilias system where your family held responsibility for you and others with the paterfamilias, the families patriarch at the top and moral arbiter for the family. following this would it be a reach to say that Jesus to be a sociopolitical force for individualism was required to be fatherless and thus rose the immaculate conception story? what i propose is that Christianity never started as a religion in its self, but was more a work of social moral politics and a movement towards moralising the individual over the group. do you guys think im on the right track or am i way off? i would also ask if there are any good purely historical works on his life as im quite interested from a historical standpoint.
