mcdaddy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'd read on this theory before, but this guy explains it pretty well. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyanaprajna0 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The general consensus among historians is that a Jesus of Nazareth probably did exist, but that the stories attributed to him are myths added on later. I, personally, don't see enough evidence to support the claims of even a historical Jesus with pagan myths added on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guys evidence seems pretty hard to refute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherJosh Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Here's an article by Richard Carrier in response to a recent article by Bart Ehrman. Normally, I agree with Ehrman and respect his opinions, even on this topic, though I disagree in this particular case... http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/667/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like his books, but I've also felt he gives too much credence to the historical Jesus. I may read the new book just to learn exactly why he thinks this way.
