The Historicity of Jesus?
Any Richard Carrier fans/amateur biblical scholars here? Any thoughts on the myth, the legend of the man and whether or not he was an actual historical figure?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I would think he was a historic figure. Obviously the stories about him have been stretched or made up. He was probably just simply a guy with new ideas; people wanted to keep those ideas so they made him a God. When you think of most religions they have this sort of character based on partial truths. I find the amount of myth stolen from Egyption God's to be fairly amazing. I think Reza Aslan's book Zealot interesting, because of his fasination with Jesus and being a Muslim.
