Albert Kalthoff (1850–1906), in the chapter "Was There An Historical Jesus?" of his 1904 work, "How Christianity arose. New contributions to the Christ-problem" (published in English 1907 as "The rise of Christianity") wrote, "A Son of God, Lord of the World, born of a virgin, and rising again after death, and the son of a small builder with revolutionary notions, are two totally different beings. If one was the historical Jesus, the other certainly was not. The real question of the historicity of Jesus is not merely whether there ever was a Jesus among the numerous claimants of a Messiahship in Judea, but whether we are to recognise the historical character of this Jesus in the Gospels, and whether he is to be regarded as the founder of Christianity."
