It is also an assumption that Jesus was a Jew. It is a natural assumption to make because we are taught from the get-go that Jesus was a Jew. However, it is precisely these types of assumptions that blind people when they begin to investigate the man known as Jesus.
How many researchers, either about Jesus or any other topic, don't start from zero and ask themselves what they really know, putting everything into question that is hearsay or even accepted dogma. They begin at step one, two, or ten and incorporate assumptions into their research that should be part of the research program itself.
It is difficult to learn because so many of these premises are drilled into us from birth. We no longer see them as needing to be questioned because "Everyone knows that Jesus was a Jew", and then we fall into the same traps as everyone else.
Asking yourself what you really know can be scary because how much do any of us "really know"....
