On the Historicity of Jesus: Why We Might Have Reason for Doubt by Richard C. Carrier
5.0
What a through book.
This seems to be the most through review of the evidence if Jesus existed.
I was shocked to find out about all the forgeries , shocked at all the documents even from early christians prior to the 100 a.c.
Having not too long ago abandoned christianity I took for granted that Jesus was still this very wise historical character.
Now I have some serious doubts about that.
It is really tempting for me now to study koine greek so I can critically review some of the most contentious parts of the NT that are the most susceptible to translation bias
I wished more historical books were as through with its research at this.
With that being said I would be hard pressed to recommend this book to anyone due to how long it is.
I guess ill have to check the shorter version to see if I can recommend that.
I would love too someone to do a book this through for the case of historicity but I doubt that will happen unless some new evidence comes into play.
