One of the more amusing points in Carrier's discussion is that the cosmic "jesus" precedes the earthly "jesus." He is perfectly willing not to contest this paul shit because it suits his purpose although I disagree about it. I'm sure like all mystery cults xtianity began with secret rites and it wasn't until much later that they saw the value of writing shit down and pretending it was real.
Nonetheless, Carrier gives me what I have always demanded ( and never received from jesus freaks.) A discussion of ALL the evidence that the fuckers claim exists.
In terms of actual history there isn't much and most of that is worthless to establish that the fucker from nazareth ever lived.
