On the Historicity of Jesus: Why We Might Have Reason for Doubt by Richard C. Carrier

5.0

A brilliant piece of scholarship. Tightly argued, comprehensive evidence, and very persuasive. The author concludes that Jesus Christ was highly unlikely to be a historical figure. The evidence, according to Carrier, is more consistent with the conclusion that Jesus was originally a mythic being who, over time, became historicised. Whether you agree with this conclusion or not, this book is a must read for anyone interested in who Jesus was. It was a long haul to read but absolutely worthwhile.
