Our social media manager Ed has a new interview out with mythicist Robert M Price. Check it out:

Hi everyone, A little while ago Richard Carrier posted the most simple summary I've seen of his mythicism argument and why he thinks it's not getting traction among mainstream scholars. Today, Dr. James McGrath and Dr. Kipp Davis posted a rebuttal video to Carrier's blog post that is a clear...

I've found the Trump Religious Propaganda art interesting. I've been posting about that on Secular Frontier.

Hi everyone! I just finished Ehrman's new course on the great divide between historical Jesus and Paul, and there was some great and thoughtful material there. It was really cool all around. He comes across as very friendly when he's teaching. The mythicism connection was interesting too...

I'm not going to provide a fuller response to Carrier's article about me as there is little reason in doing so. I think my arguments stand well on their merits, so I invite the reader to decide for themself. As Ehrman says, when you reply to Carrier all you accomplish is an endless cycle of...

I've posted a short reply to Carrier here. It's unclear what else I can do. The Christ Myth Theory fails from so many angles and on so many levels it's unclear what else can be said?
