Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth by Bart D. Ehrman

3.0

I'm about halfway through this, and not sure I'll make it to the end. The author expects that this book will be poorly received by everybody, since his position is perhaps at odds with what his readers expect, but I have no trouble from that side, and find the evidence he presents entirely convincing. The sections where he assembles his positive arguments are great reading, in his usual style. It's the sections where he meticulously details counter-arguments and refutes them that are rather less so, and often wind up being quite heavy going. Good material, but not as readable as his earlier books.
