Just passed page 500 of “On the Historicity” and learned about the invented Mr. Lazarus. Your book is a hard-fought, successful effort to reverse-engineer how Jesus came about. By investigating the material in the NT and the chronology of its writing, you have uncovered a deception of epic proportions and epic importance. You have shown the world the technique of how the myth was created. Bless you.

As a bonus, from reading your book, my knowledge of the New Testament has increased many fold. I will now recognize where many cultural references come from.

I love reading your articles about the historicity of Jesus.

Heh. Fox news is getting wind of the book? I’ve been looking forward to that ever since they got all freaked out about Reza Azlan’s effort.

Hi RC,
Excellent work. My copy of OHJ is on the way. I enjoyed the BibleInterp article. Keep up the good work.

You've been mentioned a few times at Daily Kos over the last few days. Someone posted on the Tarico diary: "Scholars acknowledge no evidence Jesus existed" The next day, there was a response: "We are reality-based except when the subject is religion" Some people are very upset that anybody is daring to ask the wrong questions. Richard Carrier's name comes up a few times. But almost no one who is defending historicity is engaging his arguments. They like to think the matter is CLOSED! (The consensus was decided a long time ago. So there is no need to be discussing it now. Or something.)

I really appreciate the link to #2. It gives me a great quick read to recommend to friends who might be initially scared off by a 600 page book!
