I just added a new page to my website summing up my findings on Jesus’ death, the subsequent reports of resurrection appearances, and the use of concepts current at the time to make sense of his death and the appearances. From here I will move on to entangling a plausible outline of his life and teachings before his death.
I also want to let you know I just received a copy of Richard Carrier’s brand new book, The Obsolete Paradigm of a Historical Jesus. Carrier is a prominent advocate of the theory that Jesus is a purely mythological figure, and his new book is meant to give an update on the debates regarding the theory and his answer to some of the arguments against it. Judging by the table of contents, several of the arguments he addresses are ones I use on my page about Jesus as a real person.
It should be interesting to see what he has to say and if any of it persuades me. Stay tuned.
