As I discuss here, the Bart Ehrman claims that the “apocalyptic Jesus” (which gives you a very flawed Jesus, what with him wrongly predicting the end of the world) was “probably by the majority of scholars over the course of the century, at least in German and America.” However, there’s some dispute over what the current distribution of opinion is, so I left the issue out of my post.
The range of opinion on who Jesus was is still not entirely encouraging—but you still have a large number of scholars (whether a majority currently or just a large minority) supporting a view that I find independently plausible, which makes me feel pretty good about thinking that view is probably right.
