Jesus in John: The Myth of the Allegorical Jesus

Here I tackle the claim that Jesus sounds in certain discourses in John so oddly literary, his words uncannily similar (for many verses) to an "I am" way of speaking supposedly characteristic of Lady Wisdom of the Old Testament and extra-canonical Wisdom literature, that it raises the suspicion that these passages are in a different genre and are not intended to be historical. Short version: Nope.  Watch the whole video for a thorough debunking of these claims.  Want more about the robust, literal historicity of John?
