Carrier to Possibility Write a Book on the Historicity of Jesus

I received an email by someone informing me of the fact that my friend Richard Carrier, in his words:

"...is seeking donations in order to write a book on the historicity of Jesus. His goal is to receive $20,000 from donors. If many people donate small chunks, the goal can be reached. Perhaps if you wrote a short blog entry on Debunking Christianity, the message will reach more potentially interested people. Richard Carrier is a great writer, and a book from him on the historicity of Jesus would be awesome. More information can be found on Carrier's blog."

See for yourselves and consider if you can help.
