Jesus from Outer Space: What the Earliest Christians Really Believed about Christ by Richard C. Carrier
4.0
A pretty good intro to the strongest of the mythicist theories. Most, but not all, of this was covered in OHJ in depth, but there were some new angles in here that I hadn't heard before.
Carrier can be a difficult read for some people. Occasionally he goes too far with saying that someone would never do a particular thing - I think we often underestimate people and the weird things they do, and history is pretty weird. But his logic, if followed carefully and technically, is almost always tight.
