Carrier at SBL
From Carrier's blog : The big news is that I’ve been asked by the Society of Biblical Literature (the largest academic society representing the field, of which I am a member) to present and defend the thesis of On the Historicity of Jesus at their Western Regional Conference at Azusa Pacific Univers...

Re: Weighing up the evidence for the ‘Historical Jesus’
http://www.abc.net.au/religion/articles/2014/12/24/4154120.htm Here's a response article by Australian Christian apologist/historian John Dickson, who was one of Lataster's professors. Very hard hitting. Here is a sample. For example, the claim that the Gospels are all "anonymous" is no m...

Re: Did Jesus Die in Outer Space?
This is just circular logic which starts and ends with the UNEVIDENCED claim that Pauls accounts and the gospel accounts are genuine products of the 1st century. What if they are from the 2nd century or even later? Oh, they are from the 1st century? One could easily train a parrot (or even a gradua...

Re: The Ehrman - Carrier Spat - Round 2?
Nope. He's not "pretending Carrier was reviewing the book". From Ehrman's blogpost: "Now to be fair to Carrier, his comment was posted on his blog about a short piece that I wrote for the Huffington Post. In that (very!) condensed version of my views, I pointed out that Pontius Pilat...

Re: The Ehrman - Carrier Spat - Round 2?
^MrMacSon, this is where I said Stevencarrwork misquoted Ehrman: It is slimey dishonesty to say there are no sources which mention Pilate... The point I was getting at is that we all make such mistakes. When Stevencarrwork said this, he failed to quote Ehrman correctly . In the Huff Post article, E...

Re: The Ehrman - Carrier Spat - Round 2?
Ehrman does (briefly) discuss Philo's reference to Pilate and the Pilate Stone in DJE? . Check p.44. The Huffington Post article that stevencarrwork is quoting is a summary. So Ehrman makes a minor gaff in an edited newspaper article by failing to clarify that he's talking about scribal sources, no...

The Ehrman - Carrier Spat - Round 2?
Ehrman seems to be revisiting the "ill-tempered Richard Carrier's review". http://ehrmanblog.org/attacks-from-the-other-side-an-ill-tempered-richard-carrier-2/ Ehrman revisits his point about not having any Roman references to Pontius Pilate. Here is what Ehrman actually wrote (on Huffingt...

Re: Proofs That Jesus Existed
Argument from "the-experts-have-proofs" 1. "[T]he idea that Jesus of Nazareth was a mythical figure" time and again gets "killed off with solid reasoning and evidence". 2. The scholars have "heard it all before. It didn’t convince then, and it doesn’t now." 3....
