Re: How Long Before They Include 'Jesus Might Not Have Existed' in University Courses About Christianity?

Personally I don't think making the statement that Jesus didn't exist is all that helpful either. If we are honest then all we can say is that a IC that is represented in the Gospel stories probably is a fictional construct. Also, if you think that people have their backs up over critical race theor...
