An explicit mythicist confession by Clemens Alexandrinus in Stromata 1:11

Post by Giuseppe »


Beware lest any man spoil you of faith in Christ by philosophy and vain deceit, which does away with providence, after the tradition of men; for the philosophy which is in accordance with divine tradition establishes and confirms providence, which, being done away with, the economy of the Saviour appears a myth, while we are influenced after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

No providence and right philosophy confirming it -------> no historicity at all.
