Mike's rating my rating review I don't often read books to which I already know the ending, but in this case the journey is what makes the book worth it. If you have read Ehrman or...more
I don't often read books to which I already know the ending, but in this case the journey is what makes the book worth it. If you have read Ehrman or listen to him debate before you probably already know that he is going to come down on the side of Jesus existing and he says as much in the first few pages. But the reward is in his grappling with the "mythicist" position that Jesus never existed. Ehrman lays out many of the claims of this group and then systematically shows why they are just wrong. What is impressive is that Ehrman attempts to give their arguments a fair shake but in the end is forced call a spade a spade. What surprised me most is how much of the evidence for the nonexistence of Jesus is simply made up. I was expecting misreading of data and bias run amok, but to learn they were making information up to bolster a theory that wouldn't stand on its own was just stunning. While knocking down the mythicist postion Ehrman puts on display all the evidence for the historical Jesus almost all of which comes from the four gospels that have been pasted down to us. While Ehrman cannot be accused of supporting a Christian view of the historical Jesus, the depictions he offers is not too far from home for most Christians. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, proclaimed a Kingdom of God, was the self proclaimed king of this new kingdom, was betrayed and crucified. Does Ehrman think that Jesus was God? No. Does he think he rose from the dead? No. But he allows for that to be an option outside the realm of historical inquiry. If what Ehrman writes in this book is the absolute bare minimum that can be said about the historical Jesus than I think that puts apologist in a pretty good position to defend the Christian faith. While what Ehrman says can no way be described as orthodox, I am completely baffled by the response he is getting from Christians. Yes, he disagrees with a lot of what we hold dear. But when an agnostic leaning atheist comes along who disagrees with the position that many (I would say most) atheists proclaim, one would think we would throw a parade for that guy and not treat him with utter contempt. Did Jesus Exist? Is a worth while read for anyone who maybe interested in the topic. Ehrman does not defend the Christian nor the Atheist view of Jesus, but present the historical consensus as fairly as one can. And I can appreciate that. (less)
