Historian explains why Jesus ''mythers'' aren't taken seriously by most Historians

Pardon my correction, but that is the point. The Gospels are the essence of the Jesus-claim. Citing them as evidence of his existence is akin to setting the murderer free based on his protestations of innocence.

The Gospels are the claim: they assert the existence of the avatar of a deity. Citing them as evidence for said avatar's existence is by definition circular.
