Unsourced statement on 'German scholars'
Support should be given for the following allegation: "German scholars in the 18th and 19th centuries questioned the historicity of Caiaphas. According to the 20th century Jesus myth theory, he was a fictional character with no basis in historical fact." Who were these scholars? How influential were they?

 * I have reviewed the literature on this subject, and found no indications that the "mythicists" rejected the historicity of Caiaphas. To the contrary, Thomas Whittaker believed that Caiaphas was the "true founder of Christianity." Georg Brandes, also a mythicist, writes: "And Caiaphas is an historic personality, known and named as such by Flavius Josephus, which cannot be said of Jesus, as the forged passage in the "Antiquities of the Jews" (18:63) long ago has been recognized as such by even the most conservative students" (Jesus: A Myth, 1926, p. 46).
