Much of Jesus' life is documented, not obscure.

The "documentation" of the life of Jesus you are talking about represents a span of only 2 1/2 to 3yrs and took place over not much more than the small area of a small 15mi triangle . This country preacher probably spent much time in the mothers house of the fisherman Peter up to the north near to where the sermon of the Mt was given . The time and events represented in the Gospels is very limited by any standard .

What is historical about that time is there were many named "Jesus" that were crucified by the Romans. Two of which were priests in the Great Temple itself. One who was leading a pacifist movement up in the north and there were many more . Whether to cast stones and raise swords against the Romans ...to revolt and invite the wrath of the Caesars or avoid total destruction & enslavement , was very much on the minds of the Hebrew tribes at the time . Martyrdom , revolt and the belief in the "end of times" was rampant . There very well may have been one called Jesus (probably many) & certainly there was the great sage scholar Rabbai Hillel and a few others that were attempting to be peacemakers . The name Jesus was so popular to the extent that every tribe had numerous sons bearing the name of Moses' brother .
