Nixey's exploration reveals Jesus as a complex historical figure, often conflicted and misunderstood, reflecting the fragmented nature of early Christianity and its narratives.
As Nixey states, "The more you read, the more you realize this is a very complicated historical figure, who it is very hard to get to the bottom of."
Nixey emphasizes that "Christianity was not unique... it did not have one story. It was uniquely successful," which highlights the multifaceted perspectives on Jesus.
With humor and depth, Nixey challenges traditional narratives: "But if you read the Bible, you know there are nasty bits... the Jesus who kills people, the Jesus who impregnates his own mother."
