And The Mythical Jesus Debates Continue...

Maurice Casey, Professor of New Testament Languages and Literature at the University of Nottingham, UK, published a T&T Clark work arguing Jesus existed: Jesus: Evidence and Argument or Mythicist Myths?It's hot off the press. At least important authors and prestigious publishers are taking notice, and that is a good thing.

Edit: I was asked on Facebook what my take on this is. So I wrote:
I said "At least important authors and prestigious publishers are taking notice, and that is a good thing." Let me add that I know the Jesus presented in the canonical gospels did not exist, and that's good enough for me.
Then I was asked if I have moved toward the Christ myth position. I responded:
I know less and less about any historical Jesus. But I have no dog in this race so I don't see the need to argue passionately about it either way. To me it's a non-issue and I'll sit back and listen to those who want to argue about it.
