For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
RE: For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
(February 13, 2013 at 10:33 am)DeistPaladin Wrote: I have read his writings and heard him interviewed. I've yet to hear a good argument from him on that subject. Mostly its appeals to authority ("all the scholars say..."), No True Scotsman ("all the SERIOUS scholars say..."), and arguments from ignorance ("something is behind the legend...").

The thing is, though, there's no point in promoting Ehrman's books as proof that Jesus didn't exist. Minimalist will have to find a different source of information.

I've found a video interview with Erhman where he says that Paul knew Jesus's relatives because the letter to the Galateans is authentic. (Move the slider to 4.45 to hear that bit.)
