Quote:Ehrman on Jesus: A Failure of Facts and Logic
April 19, 2012 at 9:47 pm Richard Carrier

Having completed and fully annotated Ehrman’s new book Did Jesus Exist? The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth (Harper 2012), I can officially say it is filled with factual errors, logical fallacies, and badly worded arguments. Moreover, it completely fails at its one explicit task: to effectively critique the arguments for Jesus being a mythical person. Lousy with errors and failing even at the one useful thing it could have done, this is not a book I can recommend.


The review is long but worthwhile.

I enjoy some of his books like Forged but on Jesus being historical, it's about time someone put his ass in a sling.
