Richard Carrier Excerpts?

Post by ericbwonder »

Wasn't there a user who compiled various excerpts from Carrier's work addressing common historicity arguments? Where is that?

Are you talking about this?

"The Richard Carrier Project"
http://richardcarrier.wikispaces.com/
This is an official site dedicated to cataloging and responding to critics of Dr. Richard Carrier's work in the fields of ancient history and modern philosophy, as well as correcting Dr. Carrier's errors when any are confirmed and improving his work accordingly. This site is fully endorsed by Dr. Carrier, but its content is written and created by fans of his work, with occasional advice and contributions by Dr. Carrier himself. The views expressed on this site might not always be his own (and when they aren't, often this will be stated), but he does take the trouble to verify that everything said here is at least arguable and not illogical or demonstrably false. If you think you've found an exception, feel free to contact the site manager. If you're right, corrections will be made. For more information about Dr. Carrier and his work see The Official Website of Richard Carrier, Ph.D..

This project is unlikely ever to be complete, but it will always be of use while in progress. Our primary catalogue is alphabetical by author (filed by the critic's name or pseudonym). A system of tags is available that allows browsing by subject or target piece. A search engine has been set up so as to allow a focused cross section of the entire network of debates on any issue. Be sure and follow our Twitter account and Facebook page for updates!

No, some one catalogued Carrier's responses to typical interpretations of various passages used to support Jesus as a historical figure. The statistic they cited was something like they had quoted 10% or less of the book. And it was here on this forum...because that's how I found this forum (it was linked from somewhere else).

This somebody is Kapyong.

Cordially, Bernard
I believe freedom of expression should not be curtailed

Hey, I could have told you that. Good old Kapyong, what patience.
