Bart Ehrman versus a “Mythicist”
I’ve noticed what may be an increasing tendency, among those (especially the young) newly liberated from what they now regard as their religious delusions, to go all the way over to asserting, or at least strongly suspecting, that Jesus never actually existed. This view is sometimes called “mythicism.” This has, historically, [Read More...]
