Approche mythique de Tom Harpur vs. celle où Jésus aurait existé
1- La période menée par Jésus, durant sa vie jusqu'à sa mort, environ en l'an 30 : "rabbi and revered teacher, Jesus urged his followers to adhere strictly to Jewish law. Jesus wanted to improve Jewish life, not abolish it. He did not proclaim himself to be a "Christ" figure or a "Son of God". That came later.
2- La période menée par Jacques, de la mort de Jésus jusqu'à la mort de Jacques, au début des années 60 : the Jesus Movement : Led by Jesus's brother, James, followers of Jesus began to think of him as a "potential Messiah"...waited for him to return to create the promised Kingdom of God.
3- La période dirigée par Paul de Tarse : the Christ Movement : With James's death in the early 60s, the Jesus Movement suffered a leadership crisis, and...was eventually "upstaged" and "hijacked" by the Christ Movement launched by Paul of Tarsus
4- La période débutant après la mort de Paul, réalisée par l'auteur inconnu des Actes des apôtres, qui est une partie de l'évangile selon Luc, laquelle constitue la foi chrétienne enseignée ensuite par l'Église officielle : the Paulinity : the most significant development in this synthesis occurred 60 years after ... Paul died and was accomplished by the unknown author of the Book of Acts (part of the Gospel of Luke). "we tend to think of Paul's Movement as just another form of early Christianity. It wasn't. It was a brand-new religion entirely." It was thus what Wilson terms "Paulinity" - "a Hellenized religion about a Gentile Christ [and] a cosmic redeemer" - rather than the Jewish-inspired religion of Jesus (celle de la 1ère Période).
