I have one better- a patron calls in seriously looking for the university in Egypt that Jesus went to. As I am typing, he is actually praying out loud to Jesus to help me find the answer.
I mean the history of Christianity before Jesus would include the rabbis speaking a generation before him, the mystery cults in the region, and obviously Jewish tradition.
Most people in the U.S. (or "western world") know about the origins of Christianity.and think everyone else knows this as well. But, much of the world is NOT Christian and may not have this knowledge. Maybe this student is in this group.
